Justinian House, Santa Cruz Island, is the name given by Carey Stanton to the oldest two story adobe at the Main Ranch. This building first appears in a watercolor painted by U.S. Coast Survey artist, James Madison Alden, in 1855 entitled Rancho & Valley Santa Cruz Island, California. This is the first known view of Santa Cruz Island. It depicts an adobe (Justinian House) at the Main Ranch in the island’s Central Valley, a man on horseback, several fenced fields and a haystack. The view is facing the Portezuela Grade to the west.
The name commemorates Justinian Caire.
