Description: [Rancho El Alisal] This adobe house was erected by Mariano Soberanes about 1827, for his wife and large family. He and his brother Feliciano receive this grant of land, called El Alisal, in 1823, and they lived there until 1840, when it was sold to Governor Juan Bautista Alvarado in 1840. This house is still standing and occupied. It can be seen from the Natividad—Gonzales Highway, going south.
