The Dragon's Den restaurant on the southeast corner of Los Angeles (lower right) and Marchessault (lower left) streets on the far right is a glimpse of the Lugo House. Dated February 13, 1951. La Casa de Don Vicente Lugo located on the east side of the El Pueblo Plaza at North Los Angeles Street and Sunset Boulevard. Built in 1839 by Vicente Lugo, it was one of the few two-story homes in Los Angeles at the time. It was donated in 1867 to St. Vincent's College (which later became Loyola University), the first college in Southern California but later became known as the Washington Hotel, and later, the Pekin Curio Store. Unfortunately, the structure was so altered, that it does not resemble an adobe. The entire block of Los Angeles Street between Marchessault and Arcadia streets was demolished to make room for the 101 Freeway the northern section of the site later became Father Serra Park. Two similar photos, both had to be pulled out of complete blackness, you can leave one.
