The Alfred Haines House has a high hip and steep gable roof with
boxed and bracketed cornices and a square tower stopped by an ornate
weather vane. The tower has a pyramidal roof. Other details of this
charming 2 1/2 story Victorian include wide, horizontal shiplap
siding with cornerboards, an ornate brick chimney, double hung
windows, and stiekwork in a street-facing pediment. Typical of
Queen Anne houses, the exterior texture of the house is varied by
the use of fishscale shingles on part of the tower and geometric
sjdDt/ckwork in the gable ends. A dominant features of this house is a
one story open veranda that extends across two sides. Turned post
supports and a stiekwork railing grace the porch. A small pediment
decorates the porch roof on the left side. Except for the porch,
which has been altered, the house retains integrity of design and
materials.

8riefly state historical and/or architectural importance (include dates, events, and parsons associated with the site.)
This house has been designated Chula Vista Historic Site No. 3. The
home was built in 1888 for Alfred Haines, a noted attorney and judge.
He served as vice president of the California State Bar Association
and was a recognized authority on legal questions pertaining to water.
In 1900, he appeared before the United States Supreme Court to argue
for Chula Vista growers in what became known as the Chula Vista Water
Rate Case. Judge Haines surrounded this orchard house with citrus
trees. Another important owner of this home was Hancil Cordrey, who
purchased the property around 1919. Cordrey had worked as a carpenter
and later became a chiropractor. When he purchased this house, Hancil
Cordrey converted a barn on the property into a manufacturing plant
where he created and produced hardware specialties. This house is
significant as the home of the important Haines and Cordrey families,
and as one of the few remaining Victorian orchard houses. The building
retains much of its original materials and design.

INTRODUCTION
The Historic Resources Inventory of the Sweetwater Valley project area
encompassed a region located in the southern portion of San Diego County,
immediately adjacent to the cities of Chula Vista and National City. The
project area specifically included county land and private and public resources
within that region. The survey area included private residences, public lands,
and commercial areas. Prominent geographical features in this area are the
Sweetwater River and watershed area, the Sweetwater Valley, and San
Miguel Mountain.
The Historic Resources Inventory of the Sweetwater Valley area
provides a listing of potential historic sites in this region of San Diego
County. Determination of historic potential was based on visual observation,
a search of San Diego County records, in-depth archival research for both
historical a n d architectural information in local repositories, and numerous
interviews with local residents. The Inventory is meant to identify potential
historically o r architecturally significant local sites and is not considered to be
the final determination of historic or architectural importance. To
determine eligibility to local, state or national registers, further research
specific to each property m u s t b e undertaken to fully evaluate the status of a
particular property.
PREHISTORIC BACKGROUND
SWEETWATER VALLEY
One of the problems in proposing a culture history for the Sweetwater region
and for southern California in general, is that until relatively late in the
cultural sequence, circa A.D. 900, or later, archaeologists are forced to deal
almost solely with material culture. The excavation, analysis and
interpretation of non-perishable goods (artifacts, food remains, architectural
features) tends to provide information about technology, and to a lesser
degree, about diet, subsistence, religion, and other aspects of non-material
culture. It is for this reason that the following culture history is based on, and
stated in terms of, tools technologies and inferences about the people who
made them. For example, the first category, the San Dieguito Complex, refers
not so much to a people (ethnically and linguistically) but to a tool assemblage
and a set of dates associated with those tools.
For the next sequence, the Early Millingstone Horizon, which some perceive
as representing a different "people" and others see as the same group with a
differing subsistence pattern and concomitant tools, w e generally know more.
This apparent increase in knowledge is a result of excavation of relatively
more Millingstone Horizon sites, the recovery and analysis of burials from
many of these sites, and the recovery of far greater evidence of diet and
nutrition.
For the last sequence, the Late Period or Late Millingstone, archaeologists not
only have the material culture record, there is also ethnographic and
ethnohistoric data to supplement and complement the rather rich
archaeological record. It is really only for this last sequence that archaeologists
are on firm ground when they speak of a people in the sense of ethnically and
linguistically.
The following culture history outlines and briefly describes the known
prehistoric cultural traditions of the region. A primary goal of a culture
history is to provide a diachronic or developmental approach to P a s
settlement patterns, and cultural processes.
The earliest prehistoric sites of northern San Diego County are idenhti
the San Dieguito Complex (Rogers et al. 1969) Initially believed to represent
big game hunters, with some association with the Paleo-Indian Tradition,
people of the San Dieguito Complex are, perhaps, better typified as a hunting
and gathering society. Groups of these people abandoned drying inland lakes
of the present California desert and arrived in present-day San Diego County
circa 9000 years before the present (B.P.). Diagnostic traits associated with the
phase known as San Dieguito i n include scraper planes, choppers, scraping
tools, crescentics, elongated bifacial knives, and intricate leaf-shaped points
(Warren 1968; Warren et al. 1961). This tool assemblage is also called the
Western Pluvial Lakes Tradition (Moratto 1984) and the Western Lithic
Co-tradition (Davis et al. 1969).
Debate continues as to whether these people continued to occupy San Diego
County or abandoned this region circa 8500 years B.P. (Moriarty 1966; Gallegos
1986). In either scenario, the early occupants made use of coastal and inland
resources of plants, animals, shellfish, and fish (Moriarty 1967; Kaldenberg
1982; Gallegos and Carrico 1984). Within the study area, the Mount Miguel
region was intensively used by what are variously described as Paleo-Indian
and San Dieguito people. The primary activity of these early people near
Mount Miguel was quarrying of lithic material and the manufacture of stone
tools. Small camps or special use areas associated with San Dieguito are also
present throughout the area especially in the Mount Miguel and Proctor
valley area.

labelled as La Jollan.
Within the all-encompassing, and variously defined, MiUingstone Horizon,
inland La Jolla occupation sites have been reported in transverse valleys and
sheltered canyons. These noncoastal sites are often termed "Pauma
Complex." Pauma Complex sites, by definition, have a predominance of
grinding implements (manos and metates), lack shellfish remains, have
greater tool variety, seem to express a more sedentary occupation, and have
an emphasis on both gathering and hunting. More recently, some researchers
have suggested that certain inland sites labelled as "Pauma" share several
traits with coastal La Jollan sites and that there is little evidence for a
relationship between the Pauma and the earlier San Dieguito Complex. As
summarized by Moratto (1984:152) "All things considered, the Pauma
Complex may be an inland variant of the La Jolla Complex associated in some
way with the Campbell intrusion." Within the study area, Pauma sites are
not recorded, or at least not labelled as such. This may indicate that Pauma
sites are more of a north County phenomenon and that the pattern for the
Sweetwater area is San Dieguito and La Jolla, without evidence of another
complex.
By 2000 years ago, Yuman-speaking people occupied the Gila/Colorado River
drainage (Moriarty 1969). Based on a limited number of radiocarbon samples,
Moriarty concluded the prepottery Yumans occupied the San Diego coast circa
2000 years ago and that by 1200 years ago ceramic technology had diffused
From sites dated circa 8000 to 1500 years B.P., grinding implements in the
form of manos and metates suggest an increased reliance on seed and
vegetable foods. The presence of groundstone artifacts, shell middens,
terrestrial mammal, marine mammal, and cobble based tools at coastal sites,
and quarry based tools at inland sites, suggest occupation of a range of coastal
and inland sites for over 5000 years by one culture group. Throughout coastal
from the eastern deserts. The Yuman-speakers may have shared cultural
traits with the people occupying San Diego County before 2000 years B.P. but
their influence is better documented after 1200 years B.P. with the
introduction of small points, pottery, Obsidian Butte obsidian, and the
practice of cremation of the dead. The interface between the La Jolla Complex
and Yuman (Kumeyaay/Dieguefto) is poorly known. The La Jollans may
have either assimilated with, or were displaced by, Yumans. If stratified sites
the study area, am
representing this assumed transitional period exist in
ddress the
may, they would be especially valuable in providing data to a
cultural transition/continuity question.

HISTORY OF THE SWEETWATER VALLEY
The Sweetwater River and adjacent fertile valley are typical of the type of
geography that occurs along the length of the California coastline. The
ferule lands and sweet water of the river have furnished food and shelter for
man and animals for centuries. The early Native American Inhabitants of
the valley have left many remnants of their presence and their lifestyle in the
soil surrounding the river and on the gently sloping hillsides.
The Spanish missionaries brought religion to the Spanish territory of Alta
California in 1769 and in their wake, the families that accompanied the
missionizing efforts settled the sheltered valleys and began to slowly change
the face of the land that had stood unaltered for centuries. From the earliest
days of the Spanish Dons, adobe homes were erected and sprawling ranches
replete with cattle and sheep began to spread across the grass covered
hillsides. A lifestyle in harmony with the land and mild climate of the region
was continued by the Hispanic inhabitants.
The serene beauty of California and its endless economic possibilities enticed
American settlers to the land as early as the 1830s. Early arrivals married into
the Spanish Catholic families and shared in the largesse offered by the fertile
hillsides, healthy climate and vast resources of southern California. These
men were followed by individuals with sound entrepreneurial skills who
would dramatically change the face of the land and coax untold wealth from
the many river valleys and gently rolling hills.
* *
This same pattern of development took place in the Sweetwater Valley but at
a slower pace and the area still retains many key elements related to its rural
beginnings. The land was originally part of the Rancho De La Nacion and
had been used in the typical Spanish, and then later Mexican, fashion as
pasture area for cattle, the mainstay of the Hispanic lifestyle. The vast rancho
lands, 26, 632 acres, were purchased by Levi, Warren and Frank Kimball for
$30,000 from San Francisco banker Francois L. A. Pioche on June 18,1868.
Frank Kimball, a San Franciso contractor, had been searching for a homestead
in a milder climate, as well as property that would afford him and his
brothers investment opportunities.
Frank Kimball could be considered a visionary for he saw a peaceful valley
with "sweet water" running through the center, large sheltering trees and
quietly grazing cattle and then envisioned this gentle land covered with
farms, citrus ranches and most of all, families - families who sought a
healthful place to raise their children and who were looking for a place to
create a life filled with hard work, sound accomplishments and a joyful
beauty.
To bring settlers to the area and realize a sound investment r f ^ ' f ^ i *
knew that two things were necessary to make his dream a reality. A plenum
water supply and a railway connection with the East Coast were « * » to m e
development of the Sweetwater Valley. The Kimball brothers set out to

values and provided easier access to all of southern California. The "\ c
desire for land by new arrivals facilitated the realization of Kimball s are
and provided additional impetus to develop the valley area. Due to
California legal restrictions regarding railroads and real estate, the San Dieg
Land and Town Company was formed to handle the land and water " S h t s
given to the railroad by the Kimballs. The company sought quick lands sales
and a hefty profit and to facilitate this goal, plans were begun in conjunction
with the Kimball Brothers Water Company for a dam across the Sweetwater
River to provide ample water for real estate development.
In San Diego, water has always been a critical issue and the Sweetwater area is
no exception. While attempting to resolve the rail transportation issue, the
Kimballs also took the first steps to resolve the need for water. This led to the
formation of one of the pioneer water companies in the county. On May 26,
1869, the three brothers formed the Kimball Brothers Water Company to
supply the thirty-five residents of the rancho lands with water from wells or
the Sweetwater River. The next step was to buy water rights within the river
watershed area in preparation toward the construction of a large reservoir.
Frank Kimball, on his first visit to the Sweetwater Valley in 1868, saw a spot
in the northwest corner ol the Rancho that he felt "was the finest water
power site" he had ever seen in his life. On this spot was built the
Sweetwater Dam, rising ninety feet above the stream bed and spanning 340
teet across the nver gorge, the highest masonry arch dam in the United States.

Sunnyside and its Water Supply.—& Charming Suburb.
Good pare water is an inestimable blessing to man and beast. It is an absolute
necessity. Property is of little value where there is not an abundant supply ot good
water. Better undertake to get on in the world without food "than "without water.
The situation of Sunnyside is extremely felicitous in this regard. Pure, swees
water, not only for household use; but for irrigation, is abundant. In the valley
Uttle or no irrigation is needed. But every lot and tract will be supplied with water
from the mains of the Land and To*nr Company, which pass directly through nThis, added to the fact that the soil is exceedingly fertile, makes it a very valuable
place for suburban homes. Flowers bloom the year round and fruits of all kinds
grow jn abundance.
There is not a more lovely spot on this earth for a home than Sunnyside.
It needs only to be seen to make.this fact apparent. " O n e falls in love at first
sight,'* which is sometimes better than "second sight."
Whatever you pay for property in this suburb, it is sure to advance rapidly «*
value, because there are few just such spots on the globe. Their number is limited
compared with the number of people who will want to occupy them. The best always commands the highest price. *
Hence one does not have to wait long for a-purchaser, if he-wishes to sellBut the superlative attraction of Sunnyside will be its HOME features. It wiube
a suburb of homes, so desirable every way as to be held entirely above a moncr
consideration.

also introduced the other major industry to the area, citrus ranching,
when he planted the first grove on his estate.
Kimball's initial citrus grove consisted of eight hundred lime trees, »^*F£ m
live orange trees, and one hundred twenty-five lemon irees, nil grown
seeds Kimball had obtained from Los Angeles, San Francisco and the
Hawaiian Islands. Kimball's example was followed by other early pioneer
entrepreneurs, such as H. H. Wiggins, J. C. Frisble, W. W. Whitney, R- &
Allen and Henry Cooper. These men laid the foundation for the citrus
industry In the valley and this agricultural crop would bring fame and
economic prosperity to the local communities from the 1870s until the 1950s.
Higgins, .i musician, composer and piano dealer from Chicago, came to llie
area In 1871 and purchased sixty-seven acres in the present day Bonita Woods
subdivision area, naming his ranch "Bonnie Brae" as a tribute to his Scottish
heritage. Higgins brought several "firsts" to the valley by the establishment of
an irrigation system that included steam pumps and windmills and that used
hollowed-out redwood logs for water pipes to bring water to the two
thousand trees on the terraced areas. He also concentrated on growing a new
variety of premier thin skinned lemon with virtually no seeds that he named
"Bonnie Brae." The "Bonnie Brae" lemon became a consistent prize winner
for Higgins,
Higgins sold some of his prize stock to Frisble and Whitney for the
establishment of their groves. Frisble, also from Chicago where he had been
involved with the wholesale hardware firm of- Hibbard, Spencer, Button and
company, purchased a 246 acre ranch at the eastern end of the valley in 1876.
trisoie named his ranch "Sunnyside" and in 1887 subdivided his land as the
Mjnnyside tract. Frisble raised lemons and several varieties of grapes on the
fertile valley slopes.

Whitney, also from Chicago and a music publisher, purchased a ninety acre
ranch in the region in 1873. He built a two story Victorian house, complete
with tower, shortly after his arrival which served as a landmark in the valley
until after World War D. His groves were also sizable and added to the
development of the thriving citrus industry .
Henry Cooper, an early developer of the valley, purchased acreage that
included a site named Laguna Bonita. Retaining the Bonita portion of the
original name for the land, Cooper created the Bonita townsite in 1887. In
1890 the Sweewater Fruit Company, created by the Boston firm of Kidder and
Peabody, and one of the original owners of the San Diego Land & Town
Company, bought the Bonita Ranch. The company proceeded to plant
lemon, orange, and grapefruit orchards and then purchased additional valley
acreage and hired Richard C Allen as the manager of the company.

introduction of chickens to the Winsor/Bonnet ranch. Other families in t h e '
area also turned their hand to raising chickens for eggs and meat and several
ranches were established with this activity as a central focus of operations.
During World War n , many of the local ranchers who had large chicken
houses turned them into apartments to help alleviate the housing shortage
in San Diego d u e to the large influx of military personnel.
-U&9
The small communities in the valley prospered and life proceeded at a slow
pace until the 1940s. Farms and ranches dotted the region, a simple rural
lifestyle dominated the area and communities evolved m a t embraced the
traditional American small town virtues. Neighbors shared both the good
and bad times, children rode horses in the river bed, and every member of the
family contributed to the farming economy in some way. All the farming
families kept a variety of animals for their personal use and the family dinner
table, as well as growing fruits and vegetables for their o w n consumption.
Local residents speak with pride of their self-sufficiency a n d they valued the
rural lifestyle and all the advantages of a simple, productive a n d peaceful
m o d e of existence. With this sense of c o m m u n i t y spirit, the valley families
w e r e able to overcome some of the problems nature b r o u g h t to the region.
At several times, severe d r o u g h t s threatened the citrus industry a n d in
certain areas, groves w e r e a b a n d o n e d because of the lack of water. The
fledgling m u l b e r r y i n d u s t r y w a s a b a n d o n e d for several reasons, b u t water
p l a y e d a key role. N a t u r e could also turn t h e table o n t h e residents a n d give
them too much water as seen in the great flood of 1916. This flood did
millions of dollars worth of damage and washed away the railroad tracks, the
Sweetwater Women's Club, many homes on the lower portions of the
valley, and the original Friends Church, the social and religious center of the
area. In addition, many of the Chinese and Japanese farmers who had settled
in the flat area below the dam lost not only their vegetable farms, but their
lives, totineraging flood waters. A flood struck the valley again in 1926 but
fortunately was not as severe and the damage, although considerable, was
lessened.
During the 1920s, two new types of housing elements were slowly added to
the valley communities. Several of the early ranchers had been wealthy men
and built large homes on their tracts of land, but many of the early settlers
were small farmers and ranchers. Some individuals, such as Ulysses S.
Grant Jr., owned large homes and businesses in downtown San Diego in the
1890s and purchased ranch property to escape the confines of city life. This
trend continued after the turn of the century and a number of large luxurious
estate style residences, designed by prominent San Diego architects, began to
appear on the hillsides, usually commanding an outstanding view of the
valley below. Architects such as Richard Requa, Irving Gill, Robert Snyder
and Clifford May designed homes for wealthy clients who purchased country
property and had the money and land to construct sprawling homes. Many of
these "country gentlemen" style homes remain today, adding a note of
elegance and charm to the rural ranching and farming areas of the valley.

M. Allen filed the Bonita Crest Subdivision map which marked the
beginning of the breakup of the Bonita Ranch and the original holdings of the
Sweetwater Fruit Company. The war also drew many of the men in the area
to the front lines and the citrus industry suffered greatly from the lack of
knowledgable caretakers and never really recovered. Many of the men who
returned home after the war were no longer interested in farming and,
combined with the influx of tract housing, the citrus industry declined in the
postwar period. The Sweetwater Fruit Company quit operations in 1957,
spelling the end of the industry in the valley.
During the 1950s many of the large orchard properties were divided and, for
the first time in the history of the valley, the area saw the arrival of nonfarming families and greater urbanization of the region,tothe 1960s sewer
facilities were expanded throughout the valley and portions of the original
bweetwater Valley lands were lost to National Citv and Chula Vista through
annexation. New housing tracts were built on former ranches and new
zoning laws allowed for greater density.

architectural style.
This small one-story board and batten house sits on a large lot •which faces south toward Central
Street and originally, until around 1940, had a Central Street address. The house is in need of some
repair; the top half of the chimney was removed by the present owner after an earthquake when it appeared unsafe. There axe double hung and sliding paned windows. The roof slopes to include an enclosed porch, which probably at one time was a sleeping porch. The elevated porch on the south side
(original front facade) is relatively recent, since the 1940s, and may be a variation on what was historically there.
Wild flowers and undergrowth grow abundantly on the property. There are also several very
mature pepper trees.

Prior to 1889 this property was p a n of the large holdings of J. C. Frisbie. In January IS
1889.
Frisbic• sold
sold 1Block C, located on the east side of Frisbie Street, to George W. Davis who resold it three
! later to Joseph W. Smith. Smith held the propeny for a little over a year when George Hannahs
bought it. Jt was planted in lemon groves and by 1893 George was reputed as having the "largest lemon
tree in the county according to D.L. Kretsinger, superintendent of fumigation." The tree was 19 years
old and produced from 2 2 to 2 5 boxes of lemons in a season. The property was held in the Hannahs
family until 1921. In 1900, George was involved in a court suit when the Land and Town Co. raised
water rates and consumers united to fight the rates. To defray court costs the consumers assessed fellow
users with a levy which Mr. Hannahs refused to pay. It was eventually resolved.
Although no actual date is known, this residence was probably built during the ownership of
Hannah by G.J.C. Ludwig, who acquired B l o c k C f o r S l O . L u d w i g may have been caretaker, built the
house and ultimately purchased the property.

This U-shaped craftsman house is in excellent condition situated at the center of a well-landscaped yard of mature trees and plants. The house is clapboard with a pergola across the front facade, a
cross gable composition roof, large double hung windows, and creates a peaceful rural setting.
Built in 1924, this one story house, completely of redwood, was the handiwork of a carpenter
contracted by the newly married Shermans.

c l e n A b o e y Memorial Park, organized as a cemetery in 1924 by influential Bonita citrusfarmer
R.C. Allen, John E. Boai, President of the Sweetwater Water Co. and G. Ivan Peoples, head of t h e O ' e n
Abbey Project, was designed to be park-like in appearance and similar to Balboa Park in layout. T h e
office and superintendent's building, restrooms, and entry posts erected in 1925, featured massive bronze
gates with the park escutcheon affixed which states "Monumentum acre perennius" or "a memorial more
enduring than bronze." The Gothic-style Little Chapel o f the Roses, influenced by the poet Tennyson,
reflects his boyhood church in Somersby, Lincolnshire, England. The stained glass windows incorporate reiigous themes as well as relate to Tennyson's works. When noted city planner and landscape
architect, Carrol Aronoviri visited Glen Abbey in 1926, he stated to the Union. "It represents one of the
most constructive ideas in the development o f burial grounds that has been developed in generations.
The park has all the advantages of a cemetery without any of the objectionable features." The Little
Chapel of the Roses has been the site of numerous funerals as well as weddings of Bonita, National City
and Chula Vista families. Hollywood personalities were also married here.

This two-story Victorian farmhouse is located on a comer lot surrounded by mature trees and
low hedge along street sides. The property and house are in fair condition and appear to be little altered
with the exception of the enclosed second story at the back of the house. The structure has wide clapboard siding and double hung windows in the second story. The from door and covered porch are offcenter on this front gabled house. The main window is a large single pane flanked by two double hung
windows. The roof is accented by a hip on the gable.
The house appears to be a rental and several vehicles are parked on the lot. A boat is propped
against the house.

This two-story farmhouse style front gabled residence is in very good condition but probably
bears little resemblance to its original late 1870s facade, except for shape. T h e yard is well manicured
and simple. There is a single car garage with doors that open from the center, and it appears to be as old
as the house. Like the house it has been stuccoed. A chain link fence surrounds the back yard where a

Reputedly the oldest house on the block, it was probably built in the 1880s, maybe earlier, an
brought from Spring Valley, barged across the Sweetwater River, in the 1890s. It was in 1890 that
Stephen Wood Morgan purchased pan of the Frisbie Ranch which included this parcel and the one on
which the Frisbie House is located. In 1S94, Morgan took out a mortgage loan with San Diego Savings
Bank; the loan was satisfied in 1899. This may have been for moving and/or building costs for the
house and related out buildings.
Morgan died in 1919 leaving the property to his heirs, who eventually sold the property in 1924.
In 1948, Mr. and Mrs. James W. Jones purchased this structure, and in cleaning out and renovating the
house found a page from an 1897 San Francisco Examiner newspaper in the attic. Other "ancient"
memorabilia were found in walls. Mr. Jones was the first paid Fire Chief in the Sweetwater Valley;
prior to this rime the fire department had been totally volunteer. Mrs. Jones is still the owner of record.

The L-shaped wooden frame residence features elements of Craftsman design. The house has a
cross gable composition roof with exposed rafters and regularly spaced wooden nipart casement windows. The house is essentially one-story but a sloping terrain provides space under the house for a two
car garage. A brick fireplace enhances the home. The house is located on a point overlooking the river
valley and is surrounded by mature trees including pine, eucalyptus and shrubs of different types. The
neighborhood is residential but retains its rural feeling. Medium scale newer single family residences
surround the original Lamb acreage at the present time.

• Briefly describe the present physical appearance of the property, including condition, boundaries, surroundings, and (if appropriate)
architectural style.
This Ranch style single-story frame, modified U-shaped structure, designed by well-known
southern California architect Cliff May, features a sprawling porch and patio across the back of the
home, filled with potted plants and reminiscent of early California haciendas. A shake roof with wide
overhanging eaves is part of May's original design. Shiplap siding adds horizontal intent to the building
and adds to the rustic feeling. The building, not typical of May's usual brick and stucco structures, bears
a strong resemblance to the Sweetwater Women's Club erected in 1934.

architectural style.
This Clifford May designed house is a ranch style one story U-shaped stucco "hacienda" with
board and batten Interior walls/hallways. All of the original walkways are of brick. All doorways,
interior and exterior, are arched. The color is original — off white stucco with blue-green contrasting
wood frameworks. The house is situated at the center of a large estate-sized lot and is surrounded by
welt developed gardens. In the mood of early California, architect May has carried out the theme of a
peaceful hideaway with central courtyard and patio.
The interior fireplace, which was originally beehive in shape, has been replaced with a square
flush brick one. Also, the oval shaped screen porch off the dining room and kitchen has been expanded
and it now rectangular. Maids quarters have been opened to expand the kitchen area.

The one and one half story wooden asymmetrically shaped residence with horizontal shiplap
siding is basically L-shaped. The cross gable roof is composition with exposed rafter tails. A stone
fireplace is on the east side. At the rear of the building, a tower like projection with a hipped roof adds
to the design. The double hung wooden windows vary in size and shape. The foundation is stone with
stone supports for the concrete front entrance steps. This Craftsman style building sits on a point overlooking the 805 freeway and the valley in a rural setting. Large mature trees, mixed shrubbery and
livestock areas indicate that the residence has had use as a p a n of the faraiing/ranching community. Th
neighborhood features medium scale homes o n large lots with varied landscaping and open space.
Directly across the street from the residence is a tree nursery.

DESCRIPTION
This Cliff May designed early California Ranch House, features a U-shaped brick and stucco
rancheria type structure built around an inner courtyard. Located on a hilltop, the home commands
views of the Sweetwater Valley. When originally built, the entrance to the home, through a saguam, led
down an open corridor to the sala or living room at the back of the house, where there was an endie wall
of glass on the exterior facade. A kitchen opened directly onto the patio to facilitate outdoor dining. A
service porch, laundry room and double garage completed the service wing. Recessed windows filled
with blooming flowers were surrounded by hand-decorated shutters. Potted plants still decorate the
courtyard area and mature eucalyptus trees shield the residence from the road and neighboring homes.

This 1908 residence sits in the center of a citrus grove originally planted by the Sweetwater Fruit
Company beginning in 1890. The house is now surrounded by an expansive lawn and Italian cypress
that carry out the Italian Villa theme designed by Irving Gill. Probably as a result of the original Cooper
house burning, Mr. Allen had the new structure erected with exceptionally thick walls making it both
fire proof and earthquake proof. Both interior and exterior are in excellent condition.
The building is two story, concrete with a flat roof. Four windows are placed symmetrically on
the front facade. Concrete steps lead to the centered porch with pergola roof. A large recessed balcony
is centered over the entrance on the second floor.

1907. Orignal cost was between $7000 and $8000.

This area exhibits several mature olive trees planted by Frank Kimball probably near the turn of
the 20th century. Originally, thousands of Mission olive trees were planted in the Sweetwater Valley
area, but roads and development have taken their toll on the trees. The Kimball olive trees display a
noticeable forked trunk. The trees were cut at a young age in such a fashion to admit more sun.

Thisframecaretaker's cottage, associated originally with the Ulysses S. Grant, Jr. property,
housed employees of that family from 1894. Anna Held, governess to the Grant children, companion
and attendant to Fannie Grant, and founder of the Green Dragon Colony in La Jolla, most likely resided
here while the family was in residence. As the Grant children did not attend school but were tutored
privately, their teachers probably lived here with their school facilities located somewhere within this
structure. G. Louis Farrington and his wife Mary, who bought the Grant property in 1945, moved this
structure in 1948 to Quarry Road and remodeled it as a single family residence. Used as a rental until
1968. it was purchased that year by Norman and Jerilynn Palmer.

The stucco single story, rear building is separate from the residence on this property, and features
several windows with tripart sections in the upper portion. The building has a composition gable roof
with a shed extension. The structure was probably originally of wood from construction and may have
been moved. The building is situated at the rear of the property and is surrounded by mature trees and a
wood fence in this residential neighborhood.

This water tower, erected in the 1950s, was associated with the Roliin family dairy, which began
operations in the Sweetwater Valley in 1945. The tower is significant because it was a privately built
structure, unusual in the Sweetwater Valley. The water tower contained water necessary for the sustenance of the dairy livestock. The Roliin family continued dairy operations at this location until the
1970s.

several homes from a failed subdivision near Sweetwater Lake. The subdivision contained several
stucco homes and Anderson moved those homes as well as other older frame structures onto the tano ne

The current owner, Mrs. Coral McDade, has lived on the property since 1942. The McDades
grew lemons for the Sweetwater Fruit Company. The Lemon Association would cultivate the trees,
spray, pick, box and ship the lemons for the people and then deduct the costs. Whatever was left was
profit- Mrs. McDade thinks her house was built in 1933 by Charles Kelso. Kelso owned property at
2931 Sylvia and it is possible he assisted Anderson in development of the subdivision.

The Sweetwater Dam, completed in 1888, and built of granite porphyry taken from a nearby
mine, rose to a height of 90 feet at that time. It was the highest masonry dam in the U.S. and spanned
340 feet at the top of the dam along the Sweetwater River. The flood of 1916 caused considerable
damage, eroding rock abutments at both ends. The structure, modified many times over the past years,
received its most recent improvement in 1940 when the parapet wall was lowered and a center overpour
spillway created. The dam, now 110 feet high, is of reinforced concrete with a design referred to as
"gravity arch." The dam encloses the 27,700 acre foot capacity Sweetwater Reservoir, a major water
supply source for National City, Chula Vista and Bonita. Mature eucalyptus trees, planted in the 1880s
by the Kimballs are apparent on the north side of the reservoir.

Edward Anderson purchased this property in 1929 and filed Map No. 2159 ^ f , - W
Recorder's office in May 1929. This action established the second subdivision, Sweetwater Manor^n
the valley. Anderson was a carpenter and one of twelve children from Minnesota. Several of J W
brothers came to the valley also and engaged in a variety of real estate transactions with him. Anderson
named the streets in the subdivision for family members: Margaret for his only daughter, Nannette tor
his wife and Sylvia for his sister. Anderson purchased the empty pasture land in 1929 and bought
several homes from a failed subdivision near Sweetwater Lake. The subdivision contained several
stucco homes and Anderson moved those homes as well as other older frame structures onto the land he
subdivided. He divided the property into 17 lots approximately 1-3/4 acres each and carried the financing for several owners. He retained a three acre lot for his family on the corner of Sunnyside and Sylvia.
Anderson died in 1954 after living in Chula Vista for 13 years.

Frank, Warren and Levi Kimball, who purchased 26,632 acres of Rancho de la Naciofl, in 1868,
knew they needed an adequate water supply in the area to entice residents. They formed the San Diego
Land and Town Company, along with Col. William Dickinson, and in 1886 hired engineer F.E. Brown
to commence construction of a dam along a narrow gorge of the Sweetwater River. Brown, relieved or
his duties in early 1887, because of his questionable method of construction, was replaced by California
Asjurtant State Engineer, James D. Schuyler. Construction, greatly facilitated with the help of Chinese
laborers, moved along at a rapid pace. Schuyler, anxious to keep costs low, used horses instead of steam
engines to power derricks and used a gravity powered tramway to deliver mortar. Even with these more
primitive construction methods, not one person was killed or injured seriously. The project, completed
on April 7,1888, exhibited the highest masonry arch dam in the United States, standing 90 feet above
the Sweetwater River. Even though the flood of 1916 destroyed portions of the dam, and various other
modifications have altered the structure, parts of the original masonry work project are included with the
present-day dam.

The women of the Sweetwater Valley, from 1911, determined a need to form a women s ciuo in
thearea. b 1911,16 ladies met at the home of Mrs. Charles Higgins. Mrs. W £ . Bellinger was elected
president and the group unanimously chose the Sweetwater Women's Club as the name for their organization with dues set at 25 cents a year. They joined the County Federation of Clubs, a larger society,
which could assist them with civic problems. One of the burning issues of the day was women s suffrage. The ladies set out to raise money to build a clubhouse which was accomplished in 1913. It did
not last long as the flood of 1916 destroyed the structure. The women were determined to rebuild.
During WW1, the organization became a Red Cross Auxiliary, resuming its function as the Sweetwater
Women's Ctob in 1919. The group raised money in the 1920s for a new building and were fortunate in
1933 when the Sweerwater Fruit Co. donated a parcel of land in a eucalyptus grove. Mrs. Violetta
Honon, a primary contributor to the project, employed Clifford May to design a clubhouse. The first
meeting in the new building was held in June 1934. The women of the Sweetwater valley today continue io use this building for meetings and other functions.

The Sweetwater Quarry provided an important source of building material for the Sweetw
Dam in 1887. for the railroad foorings of the National City and Otay Railroad trestles, various local
jetties in the 1890s including the one at Coronado near the Hotel del Coronado and the Zuruga (ban
Diego) jetty. The mine, owned by S.R. Smith in the 1890s, and also known historically as the San
Diego Stone Co. and Excelsior Paving Company, provided crushed rock used in street paving. Granite
porphyry continued to be used in various projects throughout the county until the flood of 1916 destroyed the operation.

The parcel was originally pan of the San Diego Land Inc. properly. It was sold in 1923 to Ellis
Baron, local rancher and changed hands several times in the 1920s. The properly was also owned oy
William Dolan, who pastured his dairy cattle on the vacant land in the hillside. The property was sota to
£mil and Edward Anderson in 1931 and added to their adjoining Sweetwater Manor subdivision property. According to Dorothy Becker, no houses stood on the land prior to the Anderson ownership and
Anderson moved a number of houses onto the land, presumably this house was one of them. Current
residents state that the house is very old and the previous owners used to raise rabbits, a common occurence in this rural area.

This Monterey style residence, the second built in the Bonita Hills subdivision, rests amidst a
vanety of mature trees planted in the late 1920s by developer Albert G. Wheeler. The home included a
stable-like garage connected by a wing which was originally utilized as servant's quarters. The patio
area was so arranged that it was bathed in sun from morning to night. Three murals, painted by Miss
Volkmann, depicting early California life, adorn walls of the facade. The house contains original wood
casement windows throughout as well as the original wood entry door. Originally located on Acacia
Avenue, the street was so named because of the more than 800 Acacia trees planted alongside it in 1929
by Wheeler.

Historically, there has been a bridge at this place along the Sweetwater River since at least the
1890s. It appears on early maps of Bonita. The two major floods of 1916 and 1926 took their toll on all
structures and buildings along the drainage.
In 1940 the County supervisors solicited bids for the proposed concrete bridge. Oberg brothers
of Los Angeles came in with the lowest cost of $34,307.50.
