John Downes Wilson, better known as Captain John Wilson, was born in Dundee, Scotland in 1798. By the time he was 30 he was master of the Thomas Nowlan, a ship trading in hides and tallow on the California coast. After his sailing days he became a land holder and cattle rancher, ultimately becoming one of the biggest land holders in California, as well as the first treasurere of San Luis Obispo County. Wilson bought Rancho San Luisito in 1859; after his death in 1861, Rancho San Luisito was passed down to his stepson Jos Antonio Romualdo Pacheco, Jr. Pacheco was a California politician and diplomat. He was elected and appointed to various California state and federal offices and posts throughout his more than 30 year career, including serving in the California State Senate, as the 12th governor of California, and three terms in the United States House of Representatives.
Swiss Italian immigrant Camillo Ghiringhelli met and married his wife Theresa at Mission San Luis Obispo. He purchased the Chorro Creek property in 1907 when their eldest daughter Lillie was 11. Camillo passed away just before World War I. After the war, Lillie, now grown, married Nelson Hansen. They raised a son and a daughter in the adobe. The military took the property by right of eminent domain in 1940 with World War II looming.
In 1963, residents voted to create a community college district and some property of Camp San Luis Obispo, including the adobe, became part of the new Cuesta College. The first generation of Cuesta College students took classes in old barracks, among wandering cows and deep mud. The first restoration of the adobe was started in 1968, and in 1970 the adobe was named a Point of Local Interest by the State Historic Preservation Office. With the restoration complete, dedication ceremonies were held in 1973 and the adobe served as a museum housing Native American exhibits until the San Simeon earthquake of December 2003 damaged the adobe to the extent that it was no longer safe to enter. Cuesta College had the building closed and the exhibits were moved to storage.
In 2004, a fundraising campaign to restore the adobe at a cost near $400,000 was launched. The Hollister family donated $25,000 to begin the effort. Cuesta College has patched holes in the adobe walls, added rain gutters and trimmed overhanging trees to protect the roof from debris.
To preserve the adobe and return it to functionality, an extensive rehabilitation is required. Renovations could allow the adobe to become a unique venue for weddings, celebrations, BBQs, parties and other gatherings. Profits can be used to pay for annual maintenance of this historic property. The rehabilitation is expected to cost approximately $1 million and includes:

Within Downtown El Paso, even the layout of the streets and lot shapes carry visual markers of that history, said Daniela Quesada, chief architect of the city of El Paso. Many of the oddly shaped buildings and abruptly shifted street patterns resulted from the superimposition of a second city grid in the late 1800s upon the original city layout.
Adobe is among the oldest building materials used by humans, and has been used by Indigenous people of the Southwest for thousands of years. It is especially durable in dry, warm climates like that of El Paso, making adobe an ideal building material for the region.
The Mission of Guadalupe in Jurez is among the oldest standing structures in the region, built in the 1660s. The original adobe building is now connected to the Ciudad Jurez Cathedral, which was constructed in the early 1940s.
But with a rapidly growing Anglo-American population in El Paso linked to the construction of railroad in 1880, anti-Mexican and anti-Indigenous prejudice led to widespread demolition of adobe buildings, Romo said.
The turn of the century marked a period of dramatic change for El Paso architecture as Anglo-Americans became dominant in local politics and development initiatives. El Paso began to be home to more neoclassical buildings, an architectural style that was widely used throughout the United States in the 19th century as a way to establish an ideological linkage to the ancient Greek and Roman democracies. Gleaming Greek columns and romanesque flourishes can be seen on El Paso buildings like the Downtown Post Office.
El Paso was included in the art deco design trend that swept through the United States in the 1920s and 1930s. Many notable Downtown buildings, such as the Kress Building and the Plaza Hotel, bear markers of vivid art deco aesthetics, which are characterized by bright color, vertical lines and dramatic geometric ornamentation.
In El Paso, a population boom in the 1950s and 1960s meant new developments started being built outward from the city center. These new residential communities often took on visual signifiers of mid-century design, with architects Robert Garland and David Hilles creating lauded mid-century El Paso homes.

Jess Crettol, a local master builder of adobe structures who had moved his family to San Miguel in the 1930s to restore the Mission, took charge of the project. He enlisted help from the nearby Paso Robles School for Boys state institution. James White was in charge of the young inmate crews who did the work. A level plot of land at the school was used to make about 5,000 adobe bricks. The rebuilt church was rededicated in 1952.
Approximately 48 members of Estrella families are buried in the little graveyard. The last burial, in 1959, was Bismark Edmond, son of one of five Civil War veterans buried there. Since it was closed, descendants are buried in the nearby Pleasant Valley Cemetery, where another church once stood. The Estrella Adobe was designated as a California Historical Landmark #542 on June 14, 1981. In 2016, the property was formally consolidated with the nearby Pleasant Valley Cemetery District. Today, the little church is available for weddings and ceremonies.
For information, contact Trustee Susan Velasquez at (805) 441-1243. The annual memorial service has been held by Friends of the Adobes since soon after they were incorporated in 1968 to preserve and maintain local adobes. The Questers provide refreshments. There is no charge but donations are greatly appreciated.
Hi! I'm in an online course to learn to use Adobe XD, but I haven't been able to find where to download it... It doesn't seem to be in any adobe link nor listed in the creative cloud apps. Can someone help me please? (I'm in Canada)
Adobe XD is no longer available for purchase as a single application but will continue to be supported for existing users. XD will continue to be available as part of our Adobe Creative Cloud All Apps subscription. We will continue to support existing Adobe XD customers.
Due to the merger, both Adobe and Figma can't say much. Here is my take: Adobe has stopped almost all effort on XD, and is actively discouraging new users. Thus, migrating to Figma or other tool would be the wisest option. If the merger occurs (I am not holding my breath), then Figma will be the design tool of choice within the Creative Cloud offerings. If the merger does not happen, Figma continues to maintain is place as a popular solution among designers.
We are probably millions of AdobeXD user s that still need to download and work with our design files, so please provide a download link - forcing us to buy the full pacakge I am sure is not legally permitted. You cannot discontinue like that, so please take responsibility and give your user propertime to migrate!
I believe it was bound to happen, so I switched my team to Figma earlier this year. I've been using XD for a long time. Adobe has a history of doing this, like when they bought Macromedia. I'm pretty certain they'll eventually put a countdown on XD and phase it out.
XD is no longer available as a stand-alone download. If you have a certifacte for it for your course, contact the course admins or Adobe support. XD is effectively sunseted. I strongly recommend you learn another actively supported tool for your design work.
That is what everyone says but when it comes to what is better its ussally people that have never used XD or don't know how to really use XD at its full potential. Your comment is a echo. I use both and I'm so fustrated with the over complication of Figma with things like sticky headers and overlays.
I do know how to prototype in Figma thats my point. I'm coming at this subject with expereince with both products which I find to be rare. I just see alot of people that say 'Figma is better' but don't really know how to use XD. Most of the comparison videos or articles are clearly bias showing a very little understanding of XD. If XD was Free I think it would be a differnt story. Any way I'm doing all my new project in Figma now. hopefully I will naturally start to like Figma more.
