Historical Data	In 1837, Ygnacio Palomares built the first of two adobe homes on Rancho San Jose´, a 22,000-acre tract of land that had been granted to him and Ricardo Vejar by Mexican Governor, Juan Bautista Alvarado. Don Ygnacio's first home, aptly referred to as La Casa Primera, is credited as being the first structure in the Pomona Valley. It was a single-story adobe with 2 /2 feet-thick walls, consisting of five rooms arranged in a row, and a wide corridor running the length of the home. The low sweeping shake roof extended over the corridor and was supported by slender wooden posts. Eventually, Palomares built a second, much larger house and moved into that one, leaving La Casa Primera to be occupied by various families through the years until 1973, when it was purchased by the City of Pomona. Today, La Casa Primera has been completely restored and serves as a museum operated by the Pomona Valley Historical Society. It is located at 1569 N. Park Avenue, near Ganesha Park.
Description	Exterior view of an adobe, located on the grounds of Rancho San Jose´; view is from the southeast. It is possible that this was the adobe known as "La Casa Primera", which once belonged to Ygnacio Palomares. Photograph shows a portion of the adobe, half-hidden by trees, with a low sweeping shake roof supported by slender wooden posts. The roof extends over a wide corridor that runs along the entire length of the house. Several shrubs, roses, tulips, lilies as well as an oak trees are visible in the garden.
