History

Owen and Louise Young retained several staff members to tend the gardens, orchards, buildings and farm animals. No employee was more devoted to Mr. and Mrs. Young than Francisco Lopez, who served as the Young’s cook, chauffeur and groundskeeper for 45 years. The caretaker’s residence included an unusual addition, a smokehouse with a steep pyramidal copper roof. Francisco Lopez used the smokehouse to prepare wild hogs, venison and mullet for the Youngs’ barbeque picnics.
