26711 Verdugo St. San Juan Capistrano, Ca 92675 714.493.8905 History of Moonrose
Moonrose- Which is now a unique gift store, has a long and varied history. It has been known as the John & Lupe Combs house since 1878. As well as a residence, it has housed a general store, a post office and even a jail house in the back yard.
The building's most famous inhabitant was a dark-eyed lady named Modesta Avila, who in 1889 decided that the railroad was trespassing, and attempted to block their right of way with what "some said" was a line of wash. In spite of the fact that the obstruction was removed, Modesta was arrested and died in prison for this "heinous" crime.
My how things have changed..........
Today children hand dip beautiful decorative candles with their parents, while others find that perfect gift for a loved one. "Spanky" Moonrose, the famous residence cat, enjoys his public while someone sits on the old porch and writes their feelings on a carefully chosen card. ![]()
