This was the site of Rancho
los Guilucos (18,833 acres), which Governor Juan Bautista
Alvarado granted to John Wilson and his wife, Ramona Carrillo,
sister-in-law of General Mariano Guadalupe Vallejo, in
1839. The house, constructed in 1858 by William Hood for
his bride, Elsia Shaw of Sonoma, incorporates the original
bricks fired on the property. The property was purchased
in 1943 by the California Department of the Youth Authority
for Los Guilucos School for Girls.
