This twelve sided structure was built by Ramon Alexander on Main St. south of 3rd Street. It was used as a kindergarten (see below).

Exterior view of the Round house, bounded by 3rd and 4th, and Main and Spring Streets, Los Angeles. A woman sits in front on a tricycle. This adobe was built in 1854 by Ramon Alexander as a gift to his Spanish bride, Maria Valdez, daughter of Basilio Valdez, who came to Los Angeles from Spain in 1830. It long housed German immigrant George Lehman's famous beer garden. After the garden closed, the city's first kindergarten was opened here, with Kate Douglas Wiggin as teacher. It was torn down in 1887. Mrs. Anita Alexander Goodwin, daughter of Ramon Alexander, lived on South Flower Street.
