Description:: ANSWER: The structure in the photo is the Avila Adobe, generally conceded to be the oldest building in Los Angeles. It is located at 14 Olvera Street. Built in 1818 by Don Francisco Avila, it served as American headquarters in 1847 when U.S. troops captured the city. It has the further distinction of having flown four flags--Spanish, Mexican, the California Republic, and the Stars and Stripes. And, as Consuela de Bonzo, "Queen" of Olvera Street, puts it: "It is the only place in the world around here like that."
