About this landmark
Plaque text:
On this site in 1839 was built the first house in San Bernardino, the home of Jose del Carmen Lugo one of the grantees of the Rancho San Bernardino.
Also on this site in 1851 a stockade of logs was built as a protection against indians. In it more than a hundred pioneer families lived for over a year.
