Time has no place in the Los Rios Street in the Historic District in San Juan Capistrano. Over the years, it remains the same.  

Historic homes between mature trees make a great location to visit. Can you see the "Tree House" picture?

The City Website:   Located within the sistrict, the O'Neill Museum is a rustic but genteel wooden structure that was one of San Juan Capistrano's earliest homes. The museum provides today's visitors a charming glimpse of life 100 years ago.

Among other significant features of the district are the numerous single-wall board and batten homes erected between 1887 and 1910. Most homes are private residences, however, several provide specialty retail, restaurant and commercial services.
