Marron Adobe
Built in the 1850's and still owned by direct descendants, this is one of the last intact adobes in San Diego County.It is an important cultural landscape and a rare surviving example of early-stage adobe ranch house construction. The property includes the Buena Vista Creek and El Salto Falls archaeological sites as well as the area's last stretch of natural open space, part of which is sensitive habitat. The site is threatened by a proposed interchange in the Oceanside/Carlsbad area off Freeway 78, an alignment that would impact the whole property, Additionally a shopping center and housing development on the east side of the property is yet another threat. CalTrans and the Cities of Oceanside and Carlsbad need to consider an alternative alignment.
