THE PLAQUE READS:
Built in a rustic bungalow style, this structure sits on the acreage of the Rancho La Sierra Sepulveda, a land grant made in 1846 by the last Mexican Governor of California, Pio Pico.  The property was purchased in 1857 by the famous California Land Speculator Abel Stearns.  Willits J. Hole, an employee of the Stearns Rancho Co. acquired the 20,000 acre rancho in 1909.  His home was designed by Arthur Benton, Primary Architect of the Mission Inn.
