Additional Description: Standing here in the early 1900's, you would see the Guasti Mansion to the south. As the vineyards and wine making facilities expanded and the village grew in importance, Secondo Guasti I deemed it necessary to have a showplace home and office at the village in which to entertain guests and visiting dignitaries. In 1922 Secondo Guasti I commissioned Morgan Walls and Morgan of Los Angeles to design a mission revival style villa in the heart of his town. The mansion cost $110,000 to build, and was built around a central courtyard with an aviary for Secondo Guasti II's exotic bird collection.
