Montecito Real Estate through time…. no comments
Posted at 7:01 pm in Finance
Montecito Real Estate wasn’t always incredibly expensive. Why,
way back in 1769 it didn’t cost much at all. Father Serra was
wandering around up on what is now Hot Springs Rd back then
looking for a place for a church but after he died Father Lasuen
decided that wasn’t such a great idea after all and the place
didn’t get built for quite a while.
Finally about 1857 the East Valley Catholics decided they needed
some place closer than the Old Mission to worship so some
workmen from the San Ysidro Ranch built an adobe chapel on the
Juarez property at 53 East Valley Rd.
