Quick Facts

Historical/Interpretive Information/Exhibits

Little is known about this small ranch structure. It may be the "slaughterhouse" depicted on a 1918 Santa Cruz Island Company drawing of Scorpion Ranch. It was used as a meat storage shed during the second half of the twentieth century. The building was in poor condition at the time of the 1997 flood and was further damaged by silt deposition around it from the flood event. In 2002, park staff removed the soil from the base of the building and stabilized it.
