Some history

Before I continue with our history I thought it would be interesting to share some history of our area with you.
 Unlike many areas, our area does have some actual interesting history.
The area in which we live was once called Buena Vista Rancho. In the 1920's and the 1930's it was subdivided into avocado estates and business properties.  In 1929 the Braun family purchased 44 acres and built "The Braun House". Years later the family sold off most of the property and the area became OrleavoHeights (it is still called that today, however most people do not know that). The Braun House still exists and is located at the top of our hill. The name is now :Villa Vista. For more interesting info on the house you may check it out at www.villavista.org . We just refer to the house as "The Mansion".

The pics are from their web site at the above mentioned web site. They show our area in the 1930's when it was just the Braun House here. The last picture shows our area (though not our house) in 1993.
Though the history of our area way back then was not our history, it is history of our property so I thought it would be fun to share it before I continue with the history and transformation of our property and home into Randall Art Ranch and Sterling Gardens.
