Over the course of four years, Rowell's three sons - Richard,
Homer and Robert - painstakingly handcrafted thousands of adobe bricks,
finishing in 1942. It was used as ranch before it was purchased in 1935 for $3,500 by
Malcolm McKenzie, an aficionado of California history who spent years
restoring it using 60 tons of handmade adobe brick he hauled in a pickup
truck from the Dominguez home that was torn down in Chatsworth. Then they began an exact replication, even pulling clay from the
yard for adobe bricks and building a crooked central wall just as in the
original, Watson said. |
