On Dutra St./Jefferson St., behind Colton Hall.
The family home of the colorful bandit Tiburcio Vasquez, this 1835 adobe has changed dramatically since it was built as a single-story structure. Charming and flamboyant Tiburcio was into cattle wrestling, horse stealing, and stage coach robbery. He was captured in 1874 where the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles is today, then tried and hung in San Jose. Today the Vasquez Adobe houses city offices and is not generally open to the public.
