Scott:

The Gage house seems distinctly older than any sort of remodeling of the Lugo house after the mid-'30s would have produced--the diamond-paned windows, for one thing, are more of a mid to late Victorian/early Colonial Revival detail. And...according to Historic Spots in California:




From laokay.com:
Lugo Adobe - Rancho San Antonio
It was built in 1850 by Vicente Lugo, son of Don Antonio Maria Lugo, who was granted Rancho San Antonio in 1810. It was a Monterey-type home made of wood and adobe. It was the main hacienda for the 29, 413 acre Rancho San Antonio. It was vandalized and eventually burned down. A replica of the adobe was built at Lugo Plaza, 2570 Slauson Boulevard, Huntington Park. The replica was built using some of the materials from the original adobe. The replica adobe has been incorporated into a shoping complex with and adobe theme.

Also 3940dxer and Lorendoc--GREAT first-hand on-the-scene post. I cannot bring up pictures from it but "A Guide to Historic Places in Los Angeles County" ("prepared under the auspices of the History Team of the City of Los Angeles American Revolution Bicentennial Committee") also seems to describe two different buildings and looks like it may have pictures of each....
