The adobe of Manuel Dominguez, on the Spanish land grant of Rancho San Pedro (re-validated under Mexican rule), was completed in 1826. The home features 2-foot-thick (0.61 m) walls, heavy timbers and a flat, tarred roof. Much of the furniture is original to the Dominguez family.[2]
The Friends of Rancho San Pedro operate the adobe ranch home as the Dominguez Rancho Adobe Museum.

The museum's address is 18127 South Alameda Street, Rancho Dominguez, California,[3] an unincorporated community in Los Angeles County, located between the cities of Compton, Long Beach and Carson.
