Soledad Location 1

Location #1

The Los Coches Adobe. Located just west of the 101 freeway near Arroyo Seco Rd., the old adobe was originally built as a Ranco in 1843. Aside from the mission, the Los Coches Adobe has the richest history of any building in the area as it was used as a Wells Fargo Station Agent office, post office, stagecoach stop, and inn. From 1854 until 1868, the Adobe became a popular inn and stagecoach stop for passengers of the Bixby Overland Stage, running between San Francisco and Los Angeles. On December 20, 1872, the railroad reached Soledad connecting the region to San Francisco and creating an important stopover for travelers. It has also been reported to be haunted. In July 2015, Ghost Adventures filmed an episode for three days at the infamously haunted Los Coches adobe.

t	I'm not sure what this was. I just thought it was a nice photo opportunity.
t	Apparently, somebody had plans for this property. As far as I know, nothing has changed as of 2019.
