TWW Comment

Casa del Mayordomo is the oldest known building on Santa Cruz Island. It appears in an 1855 watercolor by James Madison Alden and dates to the island’s ownership by Andres Castellero from 1839-1857. In about 1885, Justinian Caire added on to this adobe, turning it into the two story four-square house that it is today (http://www.scifoundation.org/about_santa_cruz_island_foundation.aspx) The view is facing the Portezuela Grade to the west (https://www.islapedia.com/index.php?title=ALDEN,_James_Madison)
