Casa Adobe de San Rafael is one of the oldest homes in Glendale, California.

Jose Maria Verdugo petitioned Pedro Fages, Governor of Alta California, for a Spanish land grant in October in 1784.

[1] When parts of Rancho San Rafael were sold, Tomas Avila Sanchez, Sheriff of Los Angeles County, purchased a tract of 100 acres and in 1865 built this artistic adobe home of the hacienda type.

The City of Glendale founded the San Rafael Association to care for Casa Adobe.
