Suraco Adobe
Bouquet Canyon

Francisco Chari built this adobe home in 1845 for his Rancho del Buque (Ship Ranch), from which the name "Bouquet Canyon" is derived. Martin Ruiz acquired the 300-acre ranch and sold it in 1874 to Juan and Dominga Suraco (possibly Suracco), who had L. Ruiz enlarge the buildings. Photograph taken c. 1870. Identification by A.B. Perkins.
