Circa 1846 The Ruiz Adobe was the first (non-Native) home constructed outside the San Diego Presidio, built in about 1821.
The Joaquin Carrillo
family probably moved into the Ruiz Adobe in about 1824 when Ruiz moved
to his rancho. Ruiz deeded the property in March 1835, to Joaquin
Carrillo for the benefit of his three Carrillo godchildren, Juan,
Francisca, and Julio. |

The river runs behind the Ruiz
Adobe. This property was famous for it's garden. In 1856 it was described as having a twelve foot deep well, 26
pear trees, three olive trees, two or three fig trees, and the rest
pomegranates (all planted by Ruiz as early as 1808). |

A portion of the Ruiz/Carrillo adobe still stands and is called La Casa de Carrillo. It is used as a shop for the adjoining golf course. |
