Historic house in California, United States
About
John A. Rowland House in the City of Industry, California, was built in 1855. It was the home of pioneer John A. Rowland, a member of the Workman-Rowland party and co-leader of the first American group of settlers to reach Southern California in 1841. John A. Rowland built this home for his second wife, Charlotte M. Gray.
The John Rowland House is noteworthy for being the oldest surviving brick structure in Southern California. Built in 1855, it features Greek Revival Architecture, chosen by John Rowland. Victoria, his daughter from his second marriage, inherited the home and married Capt. John W. Hudson in 1879. Their daughter inherited the property and, in 1920, married William Dibble of Oakwell Rancho in Covina. The house underwent numerous improvements in the 2000s and 2010s, due to earthquake damage.
