When Willie Nelson twangs, "You were always on my mind," he may as well be singing about me and the Ortega-Vigare adobe tucked away in the city of San Gabriel. Otherwise known as California Historic Landmark 451, the adobe (consisting of two houses on connected lots) was built near San Gabriel's mission between 1792 and 1806 by a mission guard for his family. Ortega-Vigare is the second oldest adobe in Southern California and is almost an acre in size. A wall 18 inches thick surrounds property.
