@secret.losangeles: Step inside the oldest house in Los Angeles! Built in 1818 by Francisco Jose Avila, the Avila Adobe on Olvera Street has survived for over two centuries. While it started as a prominent family home, it spent decades operating as a restaurant and rooming house before falling into disrepair in the 1920s. Thanks to preservationist Christine Sterling, the historic building was saved from demolition and now offers a free look into what L.A. life was really like in the 1840s. #losangeles #olverastreet #History
