The Santa Ana Estancia was established by Spanish colonists on the west coast of North America in the present-day State of California, and has been known at times throughout the years as the "Costa Mesa Estancia," the "Diego Sepúlveda Adobe," the "Gabe Allen Adobe," or the "Polloreno Adobe." Designated as a California Historical Landmark, the adobe structure was built between 1817 and 1823 to house the mayordomo and herdsmen who tended the cattle and horses from nearby Mission San Juan Capistrano.
History
During his 1769 expedition into Alta California Father Junípero Serra named the area that today comprises the vast majority of Orange County Vallejo de Santa Ana (the Valley of Saint Anne, or Santa Ana Valley). Strategically situated on the banks of the Santa Ana River some six leguas (Spanish Leagues) north of the parent mission, the way-station also served as a lookout post when the French privateer Hipólito Bouchard attacked San Juan Capistrano on December 14, 1818.[4] By 1820 the building and its surrounding lands became an official estancia (station, generically referred to as an estate or ranch), after which padres from the mission would visit regularly to bring "spiritual food" to the faithful.[5] The Adobe and its surrounding property (a portion of the Rancho Santiago de Santa Ana) were deeded to Don Diego Sepúlveda (a former alcalde of the Pueblo of Los Angeles) around 1868.[4] In 1872, lumber was used to repair the damaged adobe and to build a frame addition. The Adobe, which has since been restored to its original style using original construction methods, is the second oldest building still standing in Orange County, California, after Mission San Juan's "Serra's Chapel." Today the facility is maintained by the Costa Mesa Historical Society as a museum.
