The Lugo Adobe, said to have been built in the 1840s by
Don Vicente Lugo, was one of the very few two-story houses
in the pueblo of Los Angeles. In 1867, Lugo donated this
house on the Plaza to St. Vincent's School (forerunner of
Loyola University). From the 1880s until it was razed in
1951, the building was occupied by the Chinese. The
area is now called Father Serra Park. A statue of him
is in the park.
