Recommended: California's historical significance

The Carrillo Adobe is eligible for each of the four criteria to be listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The sooner that this property and structure is listed on the site, the sooner it will become a places where families can enjoy this structure once again, and learn about the many events and people that lived here. The structure to begin, far exceeds the fifty year minimum for a structure to be listed, having been built one hundred and seventy seven years ago this year. The first criteria stated that the structure is associated with events that have made a significant contribution to the broad patterns of our history. The Carrillo Adobe falls into this category for many reasons, not only was it the first structure built in the town of Santa Rosa, but it was part of the large migration to California of Californios. The Spanish and Mexican presence has helped to shape the Western Portion of the United States in a great way, and Maria Carrillo, her children, and family were only a small portion of that. The second criteria, being associated with the lives of significant persons, only applies to Sonoma County. Outside of Sonoma County many will not know directly who Maria Carrillo is. While many Californians know of her son in law Mariano Vallejo, Carrillo is a prominent and important figure in Sonoma County history, and this household was the home of one of her sons, Joaquin Victor II, who would go on to become the first Latino mayor of Sonoma, California. The Carrillo Adobe definitely falls into criteria three for the National Register of Historic Places. The Carrillo Adobe embodies the distinctive characteristics of a type, period, or method of construction. The oldest forms of adobe structure scan be found in Anci...

    635 Words  | 2 Pages

    Deverell presents a clear analysis of race and labor segmentation of Mexican men to work in the brick making industry, which paid poorly. The workers and their families were confined to ethnic borders around the company town. Many of the worker’s homes were in poor conditions, none included gas, plumbing or electricity; not until the 1930s did electricity arrive. Rent for the houses was three to four dollars a month. Adobe (brick consisting of straw and mud), an antiquity to the Mexican people, was replaced by brick. According to the Anglos, brick was a symbol for their

  • Pueblo Bonito Case Study

    923 Words  | 2 Pages

    In the shadow of a cliff wall within Chaco Canyon rests the ruins of Pueblo Bonito, the most famous of the towns and settlements built by the Anasazi over 900 years ago. From tree-ring dating, it is known that a period of severe drought swept through the Chaco area in AD 1150, causing the site to be abandoned. After it was rediscovered in 1849 by U.S. Army soldiers, the site was severely vandalized for seventy years until it was made a national monument in 1907. In 1920, the National Geographic Society began a thorough reconstruction of this once great, and still impressive, site (Chaco Canyon, 1982-2015). Between its construction and its abandonment, Pueblo Bonito was a complex and important locality for the people who poured so much time

    723 Words  | 2 Pages

    Mining played a crucial role in the settlement of Socorro County. In the late 1860’s a man by the name of Colonel J.S. Hutchason discovered three sizeable limestone croppings near Magdalena Peak (pdf thing). Hutchason at first only worked the Juanita and Graphic claims; having a partner, Andy Kelly, work on the third claim. Kelly named the mine after himself; however, Hutchason later repossessed the claim when Kelly failed to do work to preserve it. News of Huchason’s success brought many new prospectors to the area. In 1870, Kelly, a small boom town, was created; named after the successful mine. In 1876 Huchason leased out the Juanita mine and sold both the Graphic and Kelly mines (Harris, 97).

  • How Did Western Culture Influence The Aztec Culture

    The stone was found in 1790 by accident in the Plaza Mayor of Mexico City, when workmen who were excavating the earth to pave the plaza. It was discovered facedown, so it only seemed as if it was a large blank stone until it was turned over and the intricate details and deity was finally shown. It was decided to be set on the side on the Catedral Metropolitana, where it was abused and misunderstood for nearly a century. It wasn’t until 1885 and almost a hundred years of abuse by the people of Mexico, it was decided to be placed in the Museo Nacional. Although researchers at the time knew the importance of the Aztec stone, “students of Mexican antiquities, the founders of our archaeology, eagerly urged the successive governments to shelter and protect this significant monument of the pre-Hispanic past from the ignominy that it had suffered. According to chroniclers of the period, when it was displayed, the ignorant masses hurled filth and rotten fruit at the calendrical relief. Even the soldiers who at a certain time occupied the centre of Mexico—because of the constant violent tumult and foreign invasions that characteriz...

  • Aztec Women in Society

    They say a picture is worth a thousand words. However, what words are being told in the Codex Mensoza 1964, Lám (Brumfiel 1991: 224) and more importantly what influential role did the Spanish heritage have in the artifacts? These credentials were offered as form of resolute of Aztec women’s productive activities in Mexico. Nevertheless, Bromfiel paint a different picture of the Aztec women. In these sketches, Brumfiel draws our attention to the background in which the women are performing their “productive activities.” (Brumfiel 1991: 224) At first glance, these images are portraying Aztec women. However, after careful scrutiny of the photos, I noticed several an uncanny discoveries. In the first two portraits, both of the weaving instruments appear to be bound to Roman and/or Spanish columns (to my untrained eye). In the last two illustrations, I observed “productive activities” (Brumfiel 1991: 224) of cooking being performed, in what appears to be in a non-traditional work environment that does not correspond with the “productive activities” (Brumfiel 1991: 224) of the women in that era. One appears to be working in luxury room while the other seems to be overlooking the mountains from a balcony. Although these duties were performed in a residential setting, the pictures fail to emphasi...

It was established in 1905 as Logan Heights and became known as Barrio Logan by the large Mexican population that exists in it.
