It began as an L-shaped adobe and was later enlarged and restored.","why_significant":"The adobe is tied to the end of the Mexican-American War in California. General Jose Maria Flores and his staff headquartered here and drew up the terms of capitulation to Lt. Col. Fremont, which led to the Cahuenga Capitulation Treaty. The form also notes its architecture and its 1919 restoration by architect Carleton Winslow, and its later use as a tearoom that drew writers, actors and artists.","narrative":"Adobe Flores is a small historic adobe house on Foothill Street in South Pasadena, on land once part of Rancho San Pascual. Early historians dated it to 1839 and linked it to Jose Perez, but later research suggests it was built between 1843 and 1846 for the foreman of Col. Manuel Garfias. It began as an L-shaped adobe and was later made U-shaped by a wooden wing. Its name honors General Jose Maria Flores, whose retreating Mexican forces used the building as headquarters in 1846 while drafting terms of capitulation to Lt. Col. Fremont, leading to the Cahuenga Capitulation Treaty. In 1919 architect Carleton Winslow oversaw a restoration that added a tile roof and a brick wing plastered to resemble adobe. In the 1920s it served as a tearoom visited by writers, actors and artists. A 1932 guest wing was removed in 1968, and the house remains in very good condition as a private residence.","period_of_significance":"19th Century (specific date 1843-46, possibly 1839)","architect_builder":"Carleton Winslow (1919 restoration architect); built c. 1843-46 for Col.
