  • Restoration of a San Diego Landmark Casa De Bandini, Lot 1, Block 451
    1 Restoration of a San Diego Landmark BY VICTOR A. WALSH Casa de Bandini, Lot 1, Block 451, 2600 Calhoun Street, Old Town SHP [California Historical Landmark #72, (1932); listed on National Register of Historic Places (Sept. 3, 1971) as a contributing building] From the far side of the old plaza, the two-story, colonnaded stucco building stands in the soft morning light—a sentinel to history. Originally built 1827-1829 by Don Juan Bandini as a family residence and later converted into a hotel, boarding house, olive pickling factory, and tourist hotel and restaurant, the Casa de Bandini is one of the most significant historic buildings in the state.1 In April 2007, California State Parks and the new concessionaire, Delaware North & Co., embarked on a multi-million dollar rehabilitation and restoration of this historic landmark to return it to its appearance as the Cosmopolitan Hotel of the early 1870s. This is an unprecedented historic restoration, perhaps the most important one currently in progress in California. Few other buildings in the state rival the building’s scale or size (over 10,000 square feet) and blending of 19th-century Mexican adobe and American wood-framing construction techniques. It boasts a rich and storied history—a history that is buried in the material fabric and written and oral accounts left behind by previous generations. The Casa and the Don Bandini would become one of the most prominent men of his day in California. Born and educated in Lima, Peru and the son of a Spanish master trader, he arrived in San Diego around 1822.2 In 1827, Governor José María Echeandia granted him and, José Antonio Estudillo, his future father-in-law, adjoining house lots on the plaza, measuring “…100 varas square (or 277.5 x 277.5’) in common,….”3 Through his marriage to Dolores Estudillo and, after her death in 1833, to Refugio Argüello, the daughter of another influential Spanish Californio family, Bandini carved out an illustrious career as a politician, civic leader, and rancher.

Places that embody the architectural, cultural and deep historical roots of the Latino community within the shared national identity. In an effort to provide insight into the vast amount of sites that deserve protection and merit official recognition, the Latino Heritage Scholars have developed a top ten list of historic sites associated with Latino heritage worthy of consideration. These sites are organized chronologically: #1: Pueblo of Tortugas Located in southern New Mexico, Tortugas Pueblo is representative of mestizo identity. It is full of history and culture with traditions that represent the blending of indigenous Native American and Hispanic cultures unique to the area. #2: The Trujillo Adobe Built in 1863, the Trujillo Adobe is one of the last remnants of the original settlements of Riverside, California.

  • Biographical Sketches
    Juan Rodriquez Cabrillo Ah Quinn Biographical Sketches Alonzo E. Horton George Marston Ellen Browning Scripps Dr. Jack Kimbrough My name is Juan Rodriguez Cabrillo. I am a brave Spanish explorer in the 16th century who led the first European exploration to California. The year is 1542. The Spanish flag waves proudly over my small fleet of three ships! I am looking for a new route that will connect the Pacific Ocean to the Atlantic Ocean. On September 28, 1542 we reached "a very good enclosed port." I claimed it for Spain and named it "San Miguel." Today, this sheltered harbor is known as San Diego Bay. Our discovery allowed Spain to expand its empire. We left San Miguel (San Diego) and sailed northward exploring the uncharted coast of California. It was very dangerous to sail into uncharted waters. Between Santa Barbara and Point Concepcion, a terrible storm blew my fleet off the coast into the open sea. Eventually, we found a safe harbor on San Miguel Island near Catalina Island. It was here that I was injured my leg in a fight with the local Indians. My fleet continued on under the command of Bartolome Ferrelo toward the coast of what is today Oregon. [On January 3, 1543, Cabrillo died from an infected broken leg. Some historians believe that he is buried on Catalina Island. In San Diego, Cabrillo probably anchored his flagship, the San Salvador, at Ballast Point on Point Loma's east shore. In 1913, President Woodrow Wilson established the Cabrillo National Monument at Point Loma.] San Diego Historical Society http://sandiegohistory.org/bio/cabrillo/cabrillo.htm Unit 3: The History of San Diego 83 My name is Sebastian Vizcaino.

As such, United States' history was largely the study of Americans' westward advance, and became the supposed critical factor in their political and social development. In reference to

    Journal of California and Great Basin Anthropology Vol. 16, No. 2, pp. 149-161 (1994). Jose Panto, Capitan of the Indian Pueblo of San Pascual, San Diego County GLENN J. FARRIS, California Dept. of Parks and Recreation, 2505 Port Street, Sacramento, CA 95691. The history of San Diego County has been sorely deficient in recording the account of a re­ markable man. Jose Panto, the capitan of the Indian pueblo of San Pascual, led his people over a period of at least 37 years through the last decade of the Mexican rule of California and into the era of American dominance. By turns a fighter and a peacemaker. Panto was a highly respected man, both by his own people and by the domittant power of the time, whether it be a Mexican governor or an American Indian agent. As later history has been written. Panto has been largely ignored, per­ haps because he did seek the way of peace rather than rebellion. His trust in the authorities was sadly misplaced, as the onslaught of the American frontier prevailed to destroy his village and rout his people from their land. w.HE N secularization of the missions of of the Americans, Panto again sought to co­ California occurred in 1833-34, Missions San operate, giving aid to General Kearny at the Diego de Alcala and San Luis Rey established Battle of San Pasqual and later to Admiral Indian pueblos populated and run by former Stockton for his march on Los Angeles.
