It was built by Raimundo Yorba, son of major landholder Bernardo Yorba, and later became the home of Fenton M. Slaughter, a Mexican War veteran, forty-niner, county supervisor and state legislator. It now serves as a museum of early California ranch life.","narrative":"Perched on a gently sloping hill above the Chino Valley, this adobe ranch house was built in the early 1850s by Raimundo Yorba, son of Bernardo Yorba, one of Southern California's largest landholders. The ranch once covered more than 3,000 acres, but the nominated property is now 1.94 acres holding the adobe, a winery building, a cement block house built after 1897 and a small former post office from the town of Rincon. Fenton M. Slaughter, a Mexican War veteran, forty-niner, county supervisor and state legislator, bought the house in 1868 and lived there until his death in 1897. Restoration began in the early 1930s under his daughter, Julia Fuqua, who furnished the interior with his original pieces. The building is valued as a representative example of adobe construction from the Mexican period and now operates as a museum of early California ranch life.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":"Raimundo Yorba (builder)","architectural_style":"Adobe construction of the Mexican period","criteria":[],"status_note":"Used as a museum, with a caretaker living in the adjacent cement block house; condition listed as good; restored from the early 1930s.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:55:31.615012-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_CA/75000460.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/75000460/01bba3a49f-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/75000460/01bba3a49f-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 3.0","author":"Lure Photography","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Yorba_Slaughter_Adobe_Chino-1.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">Lure Photography</a>, <a href=\"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0\" rel=\"license noopener\">CC BY-SA 3.0</a>, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Yorba_Slaughter_Adobe_Chino-1.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/123860807","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yorba%E2%80%93Slaughter_Adobe","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q14684279"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/california/san-bernardino-county/yorba-slaughter-adobe-75000460/"}
