Historical/Interpretive Information/Exhibits

Ranch hands built a new house for the foreman in 1965. Located on a flat area north of the road from the pier to the bunkhouse and barns, the builders ran into "nothing but rock" as they dug out the area for the foundation. The building was constructed out of various materials, most salvaged, including windows left over from a construction job in Santa Barbara, and doors, walls, some cabinetry, and other items from the Air Force base at Johnsonss Lee. Cowboys did the construction work, interspersing it with their other ranch responsibilities-it took about eight months to complete. The foreman's house has three bedrooms and two bathrooms.
