Old Town San Diego State Historic Park recreates life in the Mexican and early American periods of 1821 to 1872. Five original adobes are part of the complex, which includes shops, restaurants and a museum. La Casa de Estudillo is a mansion built around a garden courtyard. La Casa de Machado y Stewart is full of artifacts that reflect ordinary life of the period. Other historic buildings include a schoolhouse, a blacksmith shop, San Diego's first newspaper office, and a stable with a carriage collection.
(San Diego became California's first Spanish settlement when a mission and fort were established in 1769.)
Enjoyed your galleries. Old Town is one of my favorite parts of San Diego. Haven't really taken a lot of time to shoot there. Usually we've been in a bit of a rush. I like the feel at sunset, the lack of cars and the strolling visitors.
