MTG. -- DEPT. I RECOMMENDED ACTION: CITY M LANDMARK DESIGNATION-LEO CARRILLO RANCH DEPT. C-S CITY A' CALIFORNIA REGISTERED HISTORIC ' NOMINATION APPLICATION FOR 3 /"/-)& Adopt Resolution No. ci L- - 'hb authorizing the mayor, on behalf of the City Council to register the Leo Carrillo Ranch as a State Historic Landmark with the State landmark plaque within the park site. ITEM EXPLANATION: Historic Resources Commission. Approve placement of a registered historical Staff has received a request by a historic preservation organization, E Clampus Vitus(ECV), requesting the City of Carlsbad consider an application to solicit California Historic Landmark Status for the Leo Carrillo Ranch from the State Historic Resources Commission. Milford Wayne Donaldson, FAIA, assistant historian for the local chapter of ECV has been instrumental in the preparation of application documents currently under review by the State office of Historic Preservation. Mr. Donaldson has previously been involved with the Carrillo Ranch since providing architectural services resulting in the major restoration work to ranch buildings several years ago. Mr. Donaldson has also prepared the Carrillo Ranch Historic Structures report and Maintenance Manual in association with past preservation efforts. In order to complete the application and proceed with further review at the State level, the Carlsbad City Council is being requested to submit a letter of permission to register the property as a California State Historical Landmark. Approval is also being requested for placement of a plaque acknowledging the site as a registered landmark. If Council concurs, staff would recommend that the plaque shall only be placed at an appropriate location within the boundaries of the park site. In anticipation of this request coming before Council, the issue has been reviewed and conceptually approved by the Historic Preservation and Parks and Recreation Commissions. This action is also supported by the friends of Carrillo Ranch organization. 1 In 1986, the City Council adopted resolution #8922, which designated the Carrillo Ranch as an historic site under the City's historic preservation ordinance. In 1992, application was made and the ranch received selection to the National Register of Historic Places. In terms of restrictions which may apply to the site in association with State Historic Landmark Status, the office of Historic Preservation has indicated that any restrictions would be relegated to the local Historic Preservation ordinance. In effect, the City's designation is perhaps more restrictive than that of the National Register or the California Historic Landmark Status. In any event, should it become necessary, a process does exist by which the landmark status may be declassified. 0 PAGE 2 OF AB# /s. s’rv 0 h In addition to the notoriety associated with a designation of California Historical Landmark, the benefits of such action may enhance grant opportunities for development and/or ongoing maintenance and operation of the future Community Park site. However, pending completion of the Carrillo Ranch Park Master Plan, and ultimate development of the site as outlined in the Capital Improvement Program Budget, public visitation to the Ranch will remain restricted. FECAL IMPACT: All cost associated with the application proposing Historic Landmark Status will be assumed by architect Milford Wayne Donaldson, FAIA, Inc. The cost is estimated between $3,500 and $5,000. The estimated cost of the bronze plaque and supporting masonry monument (if required) is approximately $5,000 to $6,000. Manufacturing and installation cost will be assumed by the local chapter of ECV. EXHIBITS: 1, Resolution No, ‘1 b .- ‘J” 2. Letter of proposal - January 8, 1995. 3.

The Ranch was laid aut and built in a hacienda sty: reminiscent of Leo Carrillo's childhood days. A secluded hideawa: it consists of seventeen resources, eleven buildings and s structures. six are adobe, six are wood frame, one is both ado' and wood frame, one is galvanized metal, one is concrete and WON and two are rock. The adobe walls have been whitewashed a replastered often. Many of the plastered patches have been simp scored with a finger to imitate the adobe bricks. All walls a still standing, though some exhibit major structural cracking. T wood frame construction, both stud wall and post and beam, is a1 in varying degrees of structural stability. However, all existi resources retain their historical integrity. The purchase in 1937 of seventeen hundred acres of property North San Diego County (now Carlsbad) was the realization of dream come true for actor Leo Carrillo - his desire to build working rancho which would embody the Hispanic heritage of t Golden State and brinq alive the romantic and pastoral flavor Old California. Carrillo's vivid description of his dream rancho, where he cou see the ocean, enjoy nature and find an old forgotten adobe a restore it, had been discussed with his realtor friend, Sterli Hebbard. When Mr. Hebbard learned of the old Matthew Kel property, he invited Leo to look over the remains of the homestea It was the perfect fit - a terrestrial paradise with plenty water for domestic purposes. Leo purchased the first sevente hundred acres for seventeen dollars an acre from Charles Kelly, early Carlsbad settler. Two years later he purchased another eig hundred and thirty eight acres from Edward Kelly. From Carrillo own account, no real plans were followed for construction of t Ranch. Instead, he hired Cruz Mendoza and his three sons fr and its complementary buildings. The Spanish tile on the roof w salvaged from the home of Hollywood actress Zasu Pitts. Plant liberally throughout the property are palms, weeping pepper tree citrus and many varieties of cactus and succulents. Here entertained his friends, rode horses and enjoyed rounding up a branding his own herd of cattle. Portions of two movies we filmed at the Ranch - one in 1942 and another in 1960, The main hacienda consists of three separate adobe buildin connected under one clay tile roof and divided by two arch breezeways. They are roughly shaped in a @@U8@ with the large structure serving as the living area, the smallest was called t '@Horseman's Room8' and the other functioned as family quarters. T walls of the ranch house are thick sun-baked adobe, boasting arch nearby Vista, who followed Leo's own designs to build a hacien 2 of 8 0 0 doorways while corner beehive-shaped fireplaces sit at each end of the livinq room. One of the adobe interior walls is actually a 1868. These living quarters open onto a courtyard layered witk flagstones. To the west are three structures; a rock fish pond, 2 swimming pool with wood cabana and a large rock barbecue. Spreac out in a semi-circle toward the east and south are the remaindel structures and buildings. Buildings include an adobe wash house, adobe caretaker's cottage, wood barn, wood stable with bunk room, a wooden chicken house with tack room, a metal foundry, a woo( grain storage, an adobe carriage house and an adobe cantina Structures include a wood water tank and two wood windmills. On i hill above the main ranch house, in quiet repose, stands the on( room adobe retreat built for Carrillo's wife. "Deedie's House", a: it is called, features a flagstone floor, corner rock fireplace ani an outdoor kiln where the family baked bread. The exterior adobi walls are plastered and were decorated by Carrillo himself wit: cartoon figures of the family. Edith Carrillo's collection o Native American artifacts was displayed here and it served as studio for her hobbies of basket weaving and jewelry making. Par of Irvin S. Cobb's book, "Exit Laughing*' was written in Deedie' House. By July 24, 1939, the builders had completed the' main house an Carrillo celebrated the event with a ceremony led by the padre fro nearby San Luis Rey Mission. The San Dieso Unioq described th ceremony as #Ire-establishing Carrillo on the broad acres hi forebears once tilled, in a home that is a replica of the family' early-day ranch house. I@ - remnant of the original house built on the site by Matthew Kelly ir Of the original 2,538 acres, one thousand acres were sold t developers in 1960. In 1976, the remaining acres were sold I: Carrillo's daughter, Antoinette. Ten and a half acres containir the historic structures were deeded to the City of Carlsbad fc park purposes at that time. / 3 of 8 0 0 The following is a description of the buildings at the Leo Carrillo Ranch. The material is from a report prepared for the City of Carlsbad in August 1988 by Dale Bailou May. THE RANCH BUILDINGS The ranch main house is a one story U-Shaped structure that encompasses a living room or "sala," a dining room, kitchen, and a bar. A heavy solid-oak door with horseshoe knockel crowned by Carrillo's own personal "Flying LC" brand leads into a long and narrow livinl room, At either end of the living room, distinctive rounded comer fireplaces give the first hin of New Mexican influence. These bell-shaped comer fireplaces are typical of those in man; adobes of early 19th century Taos, New Mexico. They are identified by the general term fogon While this style of fireplace is common in the southwest, particularly New Mexico, it wa seldom used in other Southern California ranch buildings. Carrillo had decorated his living room walls with paintings of his California ancestor and heavy leather furniture, antiques, and other mementoes from his busy career filled the room reminding him of his love for horses. An arched inset niche on the wall to the right of th entrance displayed the carved inscription, "Madremia." The niche is similar to,several othe shrines and niches Card10 had built in and around various buildings on his ranch. Accordin to Cruz Mendoza they were popular in adobe house architecture between 1920 and 1930. A pitched tile roof joins the two other building wings of the main ranch house. An insid veranda serves as a sheltering breezeway around the interior patio. A walkway through th center wing joins the outside parking area to the flagstone-lined courtyard patio,,forming anothc feature that finds a parallel in New Mexican architecture. Often called a zagun, this type ( entrance was usually wide enough to admit wagons and livestock into the inner courtyard, Tl 4 of 8 0 0 words, "Mi Casa Amigo," form part of the plastered floor of the entryway, and like the zagu~ of New Mexico, this entrance forms the main access into the intimate family courtyard. Off t the side of the entryway, white plastered adobe flying buttresses inset with arches and ornal arched iron gates jut from the side of house. The single room within the center wing of the main house contains another rounde comer fireplace and the pitched beam roof is cross-supported by two ornate iron struts simil; to those in rooms in the other wing. The third wing, directly opposite the living rpx completes the U shape of the ranch house. Within this wing are two bedrooms and a bathroo with a tiled sunken tub. From the patio, or "placita," steps lead off into the back yard to an open landscaped ax that contains a large fishpond. A mortared rock wall surrounds the rear patio opposite the po and nearby is a large swimming pool that, according to an article written by Randy Johnson 1978, once came complete with its own shore of imported beach sand. The broodi countcnance of a brightly painted totem pole once stood guard over the immense pool, but toc the totem pole is gone and the cracked and empty pool now holds only a reflection of its forr elegance. A windmill and rounded tile-roofed adobe pump house are located adjacent to pool. Carrillo had apparently hired outside contractors to put in the pool facility for h Mendoza states that "We did not build the swimming pool, but it was built at the same time main buildings were being built." An enclosed barbecue area spans the width of the pool's deepest end and an impres: stone fireplace dominates this structure's features. A large cobblestone barbecue area contail numerous built-in ovens highlights the opposite end of the pool. Lush greenery, cac 5 of 8 0 0 eucalyptus and palm trees surround the entire area, and steps to the left of the barbecue follo a cobbled wall up to an arched entryway and into the smooth flagstone lined rear patio a kitchen. Other buildings on the ranch also demonstrate the Mendoza's craftsmanship. To one sic of the main ranch house stands a small pueblo-style dwelling labeled "Deedie's House" whic was constructed in 1940. Carrillo designed the building and requested that the Mendoza's bui the little "Indian house" as a hideaway for his wife. The flat roofed white stucco adobe hou is accentuated by hand hewn door supports, a lintel, and a narrow wood beam door made of 2 30 vertical branches. The interior beams, or "vigas," protrude through the upper exterior wal of the adobe. A cow skull affixed above the doorway peers solemnly down upon visitors. Lig bulbs protruding from the long deceased bovine's eyesockets add a note of levity to its su bleached countenance. The plastered exterior of the casita displays numerous etched cartoons and words, mc notably, "Deedie House, 1940." The quaint caricatures, including many of Indian motif, i~1 reputed to have been drawn by Leo Carrillo. Mendoza confirms that they were Carrillo's ide and that Carrillo was a talented artist. A small beehive shaped oven is attached to the outside of the house. This oven displa a distinctive oven shape common to the Southwest and referred to as a "homo." The design reputed to have come to the Southwest via Spain and the Moors in Africa. The ranch also includes other buildings and structures necessary to its activities. wooden foundry with an attached adobe workroom, a caniage house, cantina, haybarn, wat tower, and tack and feed room with a front porch were all used to help maintain the ranch. TI 6 of 8 0 0 superior craftsmanship used to construct these buildin s is obvious articular1 in the beams tk were hand cut with an axe and burned with a torch to accent the wood grain. 6 IP Y One of the most prominent buildings on the ranch is a three-level adobe barn that how the stables and bunk room. The lowest level, adjacent to a rodeo corral and bull pens, inch stalls for nine horses. The barn’s second level runs parallel to the length of these stalls. one end of the second level, next to the largest stall, a vertical beam supports a wooden cr with light bulbs evenly spaced across the intersecting beams. Perhaps this cross served a tribute to the passing of Carrillo’s most cherished horse, Conquistador. Upon its death, Can buried the Palomino bencath a cross located at the crest of a hill behind the barn, A large, pitched roof that once protected wagons and carriages dominates the uppern level of the adobe barn. Carrillo had instructed the Mendozas to build a bunk room in the f comer of this building and often special guests were invited to stay there. A dome-shz cement and cobble fireplace highlights the comer of the room and floor bricks placec geometric design dccorate the floor. Natural wood limbs were used to build the bunks that the room its name, and the same natural wood limbs extend from a wall perpendicular tc bunks for easy hanging of saddles. The foreman’s house was the last building the Mendoza’s constructed and it is loc at the main entrance to the estate. This building also demonstrates the skill and craftsmar common in the construction of all of the ranch structures. Like the other structures, this h was built with adobe on a cobble foundation. An overhanging roof decorat@ on either er vertically placed wooden beams protects the long front porch. The result is quaint and attrz and it is no wonder that Carrillo was pleased with the finished product. 7of8 0 e The Rancho de 10s Quitoes (Leo Carrillo Ranch) is significant because it was Ownec designed and built Leo Carrillo. Leo was the grandson of the Governor of Californi in 1837, son of the first Mayor of Santa Monica, a 17 year member of the State Park and Grand Marshall in numerous parades ranging from small local parades to the Ros Bowl Parade. The Ranch stands as a monument to the pride Carrillo felt in h Spanish California heritage, an effort to recapture the romance of the past in his que: for the simpler life style of his ancestors. Commis~iofl, afl accomplished actof, Honorary Mayor of Vista and 8orteQ0 Spring Leo Carrillo Ranch (Rancho de 10s Quiotes) represents Leo Carrillo's interpretation c his proud Hispanic heritage and serves as his legacy for all future generations th: they might share in his love of California and its gracious Spanish past, Leo Carrill was significant not only to California's past but his contributions live on as a remindr of a man who was proud of his Hispanic heritage yet displayed a love for all mankinc A staunch family man, Leo brought dignity and the pursuit of high ideals to the Lati image. Born on August 6, 1880 in an area of Los Angeles know as the Bell Block, Leo Carrill was a descendant of one of the original twelve families of San Diego. His great-greal grandfather, Jose Raimundo Carrillo, arrived in 1769 with Father Juniper0 Serra an Gaspar de Portola. His great-grandfather, Carlos Antonio Carrillo, became the fir3 provisional Governor of California in 1837 and his father was the first Mayor of Sant Monica. Sometime before 1900, Carrillo's parents relocated the family to a home in Sant, Monica, eighteen miles from the Bell Block adobe house where he was born. As i child, Leo heard the saga of his great-great-grandfather Jose Raimundo Carrillo, whc in 1769 rode with Father Juipero Serra one thousand miles north from Baja Californi; to establish San Diego as the birthplace of the California mission system. As a young man trying to finance his studies at St. Vincent's College (forerunner o Loyola Marymount University), he worked on a railroad construction gang betwee Santa Barbara and San Luis Obispo. Because of the ethnic diversity of the crew, h became fluent in seven languages which allowed him to become a gifted dialectia. totally free of racial bias. After graduation, he worked as a cartoonist and journalis for the San Francisco Examiner where he became acquainted with William Randolpl Hearst. During this period, a talent scout recognized Leo Carrillo's ability to entertail and his acting career began. Between 191 3 and 1950, he appeared jn fifteen play (many of them on Broadway) and ninety-eight movies as well as hundreds o vaudeville shows. At the robust age of seventy, Leo Carrillo co-starred as "Pancho" with Dunca ' Renaldo as the "Cisco Kid". Together they filmed one hundred and fifty six episode 2 of 6 0 0 in color of this highly successful television series. Leo Carrillo had entertained millior - of adults in the movies and now his newest role brought great joy to hordes ( children. His love for them was sincere, being a staunch family man in private lif His advice to all children was "go t church and be good Americans". The Cisco K episodes represented the first non-violent western series - the targets were nev other human beings but the shortcomings of mankind. Through comedy, Leo Carril and Duncan Renaldo brought dignity and the pursuit of high ideals to the Latin irnag Leo's financial success as an actor provided him with the means to realize his life-io dream to build a home for himself in the tradition of his California ancestors. ' Carrillo, Rancho de 10s Quitoes was the product of a lifetime of personal memories had of similar dwellings. The warm feeling of the adobe blocks, the low rambli design of the buildings he personally paced off in the mud, the brick fireplaces, ( pepper trees, coyotes and proud peacocks running about the buildings, were all p8 of his memories. During the early 193O's, Leo and his family lived at 639 East Channel Road in Sal Monica. Even after he built this home, with all the fun involved in getting the ri! materials and creating a romantic California atmosphere, Leo had a yearning that VI not satisfied. He felt cramped. Too many people were crowded too close togett- Leo called his Santa Monica home "Los Alisos", the Sycamores. It was "Ranchita". But Leo felt the world was closing in on him. He longed for the w open spaces where he could recreate the old Spanish Rancho for future generatio In 1937, Leo found the perfect place to build his dream ranch, the former Kelly Rar in Carlsbad. This legacy he left in his Carlsbad Ranch, Rancho de 10s Quitoes. - Ranch was his retreat, a full working ranch reminiscent of his heritage. Between 1937 and 1950, Carrillo starred in 60 films. Rancho de 10s Quiotes wa! this time a working ranch as well as a weekend retreat for Leo and his family. ' became famous for his grand hospitality and lavish barbecues where mariachi bal entertained guests from Hollywood and friends and neighbors from Carlsbad and surrounding communities. Rodeos, roundups and barbecues attracted many, and responsibilities of the working ranch kept numerous hired hands actively emplo\ It is not surprising that the well-liked actor took such great enjoyment in entertainment of Hollywood's elite at the Rancho de 10s Quitoes, just as Carril ancestors had delighted in hosting their own 'gente de razon' of Spanish Califor Carrillo's image as California's grand host would become so successful that he w( earn the title "Mr. California" in an identity he would himself term the "reincarna of the caballero." , Carrillo provided lively and gracious entertainment for his guests at the Ranch dc the late thirties and early forties. His,hosp;tality, as well as his horsemanship t 3 of 6 0 0 well known. A rodeo and bull pen complete with announcer's stage set to the sic of his adobe barn were often the site of demonstrations in horsemanship. Leo w; very happy when there was this kind of activity going on at his ranch. In 1942 Leo was working on a film with a strong political moral. An imaginati! publicity man saw an opportunity to gather some headlines and suggested to Leo th he run for Governor. As a gag, Leo agreed. After all, his famous ancestor, Carlc Antonio, had been Governor of California. Though not up to date on the condition ( the State's budget, Leo switched to proclaiming "balancing the human budget". Tt boom was launched and Leo was in demand for speeches every where. What start€ as a gag suddenly became a real possibility - both the studio and Leo realized they hz a problem; how to keep Leo from being nominated. Leo thought of his good friend Earl Warren whom he had met during the first Wor War. Warren had been impressive as Attorney General of California. When M Wren expressed himself to be an .nknown, Leo convinced him of the advantage i rc. ag on both tickets. Leo and larren stumped the State from one end to th oth::r. Much to Leo's credit, Warren swept both tickets with over a million votes to becon Governor of California. In 1943, Governor Warren appointed Leo to the Californ Beaches and Parks Commission; a position he held for seventeen years. During t time on the Commission he helped the State acquire the Olvera Street adobe ar establish the Anza-Borrego Desert State Park. it was through his personal effort th; Hearst Castle at San Simeon was brought into the State Park Inventory. He was founding member of the Los Angeles Arboretum as well as the Rancheros Visitadore an elite Santa Barbara riding club. In March 1959, a stretch of beach near Malibu wi named in his honor. Launched by World War II and the decline of Hollywood's golden days in the 40' invitations to speak at numerous galas, parties and meetings where he continued t boost California and his family heritage. These years earned him the title "M California" and at least one promotional pamphlet lauding his career made ample us of the nom & plume. Though other Hispanics of the 30's - 40's were popular performers, none were : involved in making the world a better place than Leo. Charitable causes always drel his support - Little League baseball, crippled children's organizqtions and th restoration of the California Missions in 1941 e From 1942-1945, Leo and his wif and daughter were actively involved in the Red Cross (his wife and daughter wer ambulance drivers). Leo's love for children was expressed in his biography, "M greatest thrill is to be recognized by children as 'the fellow who makes them happy "Children are real, gloriously sincere. Even in Toledo, Spain, as I walked down tt 503, Carrillo became a defender of freedom and foe of communism. He receive 4 of 6 0 0 street, little children gathered around me, happily chanting my name. A man can a! " no greater reward than to be loved by children." The Carrillo Ranch stands as a tribute to California's rich Hispanic heritage. T Ranch is a product of the so called golden Era in Hollywood, a period of glitz a glamour when prosperous movie and stage stars built homes both as personal retrez and entertainment showcases. Leo Carrillo's Rancho de 10s Quiotes represents t continuation of an established building tradition of Southwestern adobe architectu craftsmanship that has been passed on from generation to generation. Leo states in his book, "I have ridden in many parades. I have trod many a stas Applause has been mine. I have seen the far places of the earth. Many dreams ha come true. Now, here on the Rancho of the Spanish Daggers, the past, the pres€ and the future flash their many-prismed mirrors before my eyes. The everlasting h are my proscenium. The vaulted sky is my roof. The stars lean down to pronoun their benediction." "..... Now, amigos, perhaps you understand why the adobe is 1 birthstone.. .'I Today, the buildings of Rancho de 10s Quiotes speak for themselves. The whi washed adobe walls mirror the years as a working ranch and retreat for the Carr family. Leo Carrillo's self-termed reincarnation as a Spanish caballero demonstral the effectiveness of the California myth that made popular the romantic image California's haciendas and the festive life of days gone by. Rancho de 10s Ouiotes represents a blend of California myth, Hollywood showmans and stage setting, and the use of authentic architectural building traditions to crei a representation or interpretation of the past. Rancho de 10s Quitoes, its builde residents, employees and guests share in the California myth and Carrillo's drea taking their place in the local.history of Carlsbad and the broad history of Califorr / 5 of 6 9.
