Name: Casa de Carrillo
Location: Located on the grounds of the Presido Golf Course in San Diego.
Access: Paved roads, 2wd vehicles OK.
Comments: This adobe home is fully restored. Presidio commandante Francisco Maria Ruiz built this house next to his 1808 pear garden late in 1821 for his close relative and fellow soldier, Joaquin Carrillo, and his large family. From this adobe dwelling, in April 1829, daughter Josefa Carrillo eloped to Chile with Henry Delano Fitch. When Ruiz died in 1839 and Joaquin soon afterwards, son Ramon Carrillo sold this property to Lorenzo Soto. It was transferred several times before 1932, deteriorating gradually, until George Marston and associates restored the house and grounds and deeded them to the city of San Diego as a golf course.
