    # of photos: 2 photos Description: a) Adobe home of Mariano Jesus Soberanes on Rancho Los Ojitos, acquired by Soberanes in 1842. The two houses were built in the early 1800s. b) Before 1935, the tiles were removed from the roof of this old adobe, and a corrugated iron roof replaced the tile. During World War II, troops from an army base [research shows Fort Hunter Liggett], close by, used this old adobe for Target Practice, and it was totally destroyed.
