La Casa de Don Ygnácio Alvar ado
Don Ygnácio Palomares and Don Ricardo Vejar must
and
have been generous-hearted hospitable men, and besides,
Indians in the neighborhood,
there were many unfriendly so
that friends and relatives were encouraged to join them and
receive house sites on the huge estate. At the invitation of
Don Ygnácio Palomares, his intimate friend, Don Ygnácio
Alvarado, came to San José and built the adobe which stands
today next-door-neighbor the Palomares place, at 1475 N.
to
Park Avenue.
It is said that Don Ygnácio Palomares' invitation was

limited by but a single condition that the new house should
contain a chapel. At any rate, the front room of the Alva-
rado adobe was long used on the mornings of Holy Days for
services conducted by itinerant fathers from the Mission,
while in the evening the same room would be gay with dancing
in celebration of the fiesta.
