I know it was moved down off the hill. Spent time around here myself and travel through this area, used to always visit a senior mobile home park in Oceano, has a huge Victorian in the Center of it.

I love it. Story goes it was one of two houses sitting on that land and the Firestone family bought the other one years ago and moved and restored it. Don't know if that's true, but I wish someone would fix up that one too!Santa Ynez College PTAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02650976769682632756noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1662413468249759881.post-23385475762715226662015-05-09T06:39:13.971-07:002015-05-09T06:39:13.971-07:00Santa Maria is where we raised our kids and have s...Santa Maria is where we raised our kids and have seen that house many times.

I believe a friend told me it was moved to that site from somewhere else in town.

It's been boarded up for as long as I remember, at least 35 years, I believe, and maybe even much longer. The west is dotted with old farmhouses that were abandoned when large corporations bought up small farms and combined them into larger holdings under one management. Perhaps it's the case with this one. It always makes me sad to see them, and I wonder if they'd be better off moved to a new location rather than left to slowly crumble away unoccupied. Cute photo of you two with it, and now you having been there has become a tiny slice of its history. Glad you shared this!
