There is nothing left of the old house to indicate where it stood except an old Cabbage Rose such as the old time Californians always planted. There are some Eucalyptus trees, old and about ready to perish, which they told me stood in the rear of the old house. From the state Historical Marker, I made a note that the house was built on site in 1843, by Benito Wilson, original grantee of the Jurpa rancho. It was occupied from 1847 to 1868, the date of his death, by Rubidoux, a native of Saint Louis, Taos Trapper, and Chino Battle Captive, who purchased the Jurupa Ranch and was the first permanent settler in the community. The property is owned at the present time (about 1 acre) by R.R. Nichol and his son-in-law, C.M. McGuire, who lives in a house on it". -- Crum. 4/25/1937
