BACKGROUND/PROJECT DESCRIPTION
On May 27, 2005, the Planning Department administratively approved new exterior paint for the Shire,
a historic building known as the "Machado Store," located on the southeast corner of Old Town Front
Street and Main Street at 28656 Old Town Front Street. The applicant painted the structure consistent
with the approved paint color scheme from the Sherwin Williams Preservation Palette using "Downing
Sand" for the main body and "Rookwood Dark Brown" for the Trim.
On July 11, 2005, the Old Town Local Review Board approved Planning Application No. PA05-0111, a
Minor Modification to add perimeter fencing, signage, concrete and landscape improvements at the
Shire (Machado Store) subject to certain conditions outlined by Final Condition of Approval No. 12 as
follows:
GAPlanning\20OMPA08-0018 Shire Building Minor MOD\Planning\OTLRB Staff Repon.doc
I
12. Prior to the issuance of a building permit or commencement of improvements to the
project site, a site plan shall be submitted and approved by the Director of Planning
indicating the following:
a. A corner treatment to consist of a trellis structure or archway with a solid base,
subject to approval by the Director of Planning, shall be incorporated into the
southwest corner of the project site and shall be shown on the site plan. A
detailed elevation for this structure shall also be shown on the site plan.
b. The fence to be located along the property line at Old Town Front Street and Main
Street shall not exceed a height of four feet. The site plan shall indicate the height
of the fence and shall indicate that the fence is to be constructed of stucco
pilasters with concrete caps and wrought iron.
C. A third pedestrian ingress/egress point shall be incorporated into the fence along
the southern property line to allow unobstructed pedestrian access to the
pedestrian accessible area adjoining the project site.
d. Concrete areas within the fenced yard area shall be minimized to include a four
foot wide accessible path of travel for persons with disabilities using a wheelchair
and that is also safe for and usable by persons with other disabilities. Up to four
feet of concrete shall also be permitted at the perimeter of the building. The
surface for all other areas within the fenced yard area shall be decomposed
granite or other suitable material, subject to review and approval by the Director of
Planning.
e. The site plan shall indicate that concrete in the fenced yard area shall be stamped
concrete at the entries and colored concrete (i.e., San Diego Buff) for all other
concrete areas.
f. Landscaping shall be added at the base of the building at the Old Town and Main
Street elevations. The landscaping may be provided in contained planters of
various shapes and sizes located adjacent to the building, subject to review and
approval by the Director of Planning.
Since approval of Planning Application No. PA05-0111, the applicant installed concrete, potted plants
and wood fencing/gates (for screening the rear areas of the structure); however, did not comply with
some of conditions listed above and, specifically, did not obtain Planning Director approval prior to the
commencement of improvements to the project site as required. Consequently, the applicant has filed
a new Minor Modification Application (PA08-0014) requesting that the Old Town Local Review Board
approve the existing conditions including the concrete, potted plants and wood fencing. In addition,
the applicant is proposing new exterior lighting.
ANALYSIS
In order to review the new Minor Modification Application submitted by the Applicant on January 29,
2008, staff needed to review the previously approved Minor Modification Application to determine
whether any Conditions of Approval would still be applicable.
The wrought iron fencing previously proposed and approved by Planning Application No. PA05-0111,
and as outlined in Condition of Approval No. 12.b (above), was not installed and is no longer proposed
by the applicant. Staff is satisfied with this proposal since the site is more pedestrian friendly without
fencing, as is consistent with Old Town Specific Plan Goal 3 (Circulation/Parking Objective)to create a
pedestrian oriented environment in the Old Town core. Furthermore, staff has determined that a
G:\Planning\20081PA08-0018 Shire Building Minor MOD\Planning\OTLRB Staff Report.doc
2
corner treatment such as a trellis or archway, as required by Condition of Approval No. 12.a., should
no longer be required on the project since there will be no coordinating fence to connect to the trellis or
archway.
The applicant has provided potted planters acceptable to the Director of Planning as required by
Condition of Approval No. 12.f. In addition, staff has determined that the wooden fence, as
constructed and painted to match the structure meets the intent of the Old Town Specific Plan as
outlined in Section IV.C. (Site Planning Guidelines for Fences and Walls) which allows western style
wood fencing. Lastly, staff recommends approval of the proposed lighting to be affixed only near the
doorways of the building; however not along the structure (as proposed) since the Old Town Specific
Plan Section IV.F (Lighting Guidelines) requires that lights used to create shadow, relief or outline
effects shall be concealed or indirect.
While Conditions 12.a, 12.b., 12.c, and 12.f. have been addressed, staff is concerned with the
extensive amount of concrete along the western elevation which is inconsistent with Condition of
approval 12.d and 12.e. and inconsistent with the intent of the Old Town Specific Plan which
discourages vast expanses of concrete and requires landscape to soften commercial development.
Furthermore, staff proposes that the flat wall plane along the western elevation (previously approved
with wall water fountains) be enhanced to provide a mosaic or mural to compliment the color and
architectural composition.
RECOMMENDATION
For consistency with the Old Town Specific Plan, General Plan and City of Temecula Development
Code, staff recommends that the proposed Minor Modification address the following:
1. The Applicant provide a revised site plan, for approval by the Planning Director and the
Old Town Local Review Board, that removes concrete areas within the property
boundaries but retain a four-foot wide accessible path of travel for persons with
disabilities using a wheelchair and that is also safe for and usable by persons with other
disabilities. Up to four feet of concrete may also be permitted at the perimeter of the
building (as previously approved). The removed concrete shall be replaced with
landscape which is consistent with the Landscape Guidelines of the Old Town Specific
Plan and subject to review and approval by the Director of Planning.
2. The Applicant provide a conceptual design, for approval by the Planning Director and the
Old Town Local Review Board, that provides Mosaic or Mural to enhance and
compliment the color and architectural composition of the flat wall plane along Old Town
Front Street. Section IV.G (Public Art) Guideline 3-Mosaics and Murals of the Old Town
Specific Plan provides the applicant the opportunity to enhance flat wall planes with
desirable public art.
3. Proposal for new lighting fixtures be approved only near the doorways of the building;
however not along the structure (as proposed).
Staff requests that the Old Town Local Review Board provide comments, and a recommendation for
approval of the wood fencing, potted plants and lighting fixtures near the door ways; and direct staff
as to the need to seek compliance with the changes enumerated above (items 1, 2 and 3).

BACKGROUND/PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The proposed project site, located on four acres, is adjacent to the historic Luiseno Indian Village of
Temecula and is also the exact crossing point of the Southern Emigrant Trail of the 1800's (and
later the Butterfield Stage Mail Route from 1858-1861). In 1904, when Walter Vail acquired 87,500
acres for cattle ranching activities, the project site became the Vail Ranch Headquarters Complex -
headquarters to the largest cattle ranch in California ("Vail Ranch")—until it was all sold in 1964.
Since the sale of Vail Ranch in 1964, there have been several owners and plans for the Vail Ranch
Headquarters Complex site. As development occurred around the project site, litigation ensued to
preserve the historic structures and the Vail Ranch Headquarters Complex site was condensed to
approximately four acres and fenced off for future renovation and preservation of the site with the
six remaining historic structures: the Wolf Store, Cookhouse, Bunkhouse, Caretaker House,
Machine Barn and Water Building (the Caretaker House, Machine Barn and Water Building were
relocated onto the four-acre site in order to be saved). The project site was later annexed by the
City of Temecula as part of the Redhawk Annexation in 2005.
Legal agreements mandate that the developer/owner restore the four-acre Historic Vail Ranch
Headquarters Complex site and, upon completion of the renewed project, dedicate ownership to the
County of Riverside. In turn, the County of Riverside will lease the renewed project site back to the
developer. Consequently, on August 20, 2007, Jerry Tessier of Arteco Partners submitted a
Development Plan and Certificate of Appropriateness Application for the restoration of the Vail
Ranch Headquarters Complex. On September 20, 2007, a DRC meeting was held to discuss site
plan, landscaping and building design concepts (staff invited a County of Riverside representative
to attend to ensure any concems/comments from the County were addressed since the County will
own the site after the development). In addition, staff has worked closely with Vail Ranch
Restoration Association ("VaRRA"), a non-profit corporation formed to heighten awareness of the
rich heritage of the historic Vail Ranch. Staff also provided plans to the Historic Society for review.
The applicant resubmitted plans on December 5, 2007. Staff received comments from VaRRA on
January 7, 2008; and on January 22, 2008 the Infrastructure Beautification Committee provided
comments on plans for a Southern Emigrant monument (to be constructed on the site). On January
29, 2008, a second DRC letter was sent to the applicant to include these comments and corrections
to the plans. The applicant resubmitted plans on March 4, 2008 and staff determined the project
was ready to be heard at the Old Town Local Review Board. In the interim, the applicant made
minor corrections and final plans were resubmitted on March 31, 2008.
ANALYSIS
As permissible by the Historic Commercial zone of the Vail Ranch Specific Plan and the Highway
Tourist (HT) land use designation of the General Plan, the restoration of the existing six historic
structures and the additional new [historically appropriate] construction will house a variety of
commercial enterprises including restaurant, retail and office uses. In addition, a total of 925
square feet has been preserved for museum display within the Wolf Store, Bunkhouse, Machine
Barn and the Caretaker House. It is the intent of the Applicant to seek National Historic Register
District status for the Vail Ranch Headquarters Complex after entitlement of the project.
Site Plan
The site plan meets the minimum requirements of the development standards for the land use
designation of Highway Tourist (HT). Its building lot coverage of 15.6 percent is well below the
G:\Planning\2007\PA07-0239 Vail Ranch Headquarters Comm DP\Planning\OTLRB Staff Report.doc
2
maximum permitted lot coverage of 30 percent. In addition, the proposed landscaping/open space
coverage of 56.6 percent exceeds the minimum 30 percent for the HT zone.
A reciprocal parking agreement for the Redhawk Towne Center. provides a shared parking
arrangement for the businesses within the shopping center, including the Vail Ranch Headquarters
Complex. A parking analysis dated November 1, 2007 shows 2,354 available parking spaces of
which 1,425 parking spaces are consumed by current existing uses, leaving a surplus of 929
parking spaces to easily accommodate the required 189 parking spaces for the proposed
restaurants and shops at the Vail Ranch Headquarters Complex.
The site plan calls for various elements to enhance and recreate the history of Vail Ranch including
a .clear definition of the old Southern Emigrant Trail (the Butterfield Stage Path), open areas for
outdoor events, wooden patio decks to promote outdoor dining, a story telling area, wooden
benches, a water tower, windmill, hay wagon stage and various pedestrian pathways wide enough
for horse and hayrides. The site will provide a monument to represent the specific segment of the
Southern Emigrant Trail at the Vail Ranch Headquarters. In addition, smaller monuments with
plaques will be located outside each of the historic buildings to provide the history of each structure.
The perimeter of the site will be outlined with a wooden four-rail split fencing to symbolize the four-
rail split fence that once surrounded the Wolf Store (and stained to match the wooden trim of the
Redhawk Town Center surroundings). Two ranch gateways will enhance the front and rear of the
project site. The front sidewalk will be expanded to ten feet wide and will also incorporate two
garden benches made of local granite blocks with a wooden trellis and climbing vines. In addition,
two ornamental emblems/motifs (similar to the emblem/motifs found in the sidewalk at the four
corners of Old Town Front Street and Main Street) will enhance the front entryways to the project
site.
Architecture.
The concept of the proposed project is to restore all of the existing historic structures by repairing
and rehabilitating each of them in a manner consistent with the Secretary of the Interior's Standards
for the Treatment of Historic Properties and to ultimately obtain National Historic Register status for
the Vail Ranch Headquarters Complex. It is the intent that the existing structures remain intact
except for paint colors and an add-on to the rear of the Cookhouse, Bunkhouse and the Machine
Barn. The add-ons are proposed so that they are only visible from the rear and constructed with
different wall finishes to ensure a visible distinction between the historic structure and the new
addition. A proposed new retail structure will also be constructed on the site, and will be western
frontier architecture compatible with the existing historic structures.
A history of the site is attached to provide a very detailed description of the architecture of each
historic structure; however, the following will outline the proposal to restore each structure:
Wolf Store
The proposal will repair and repaint all restorable materials and surfaces; and replace any missing
and/or irreparable materials with matching materials. The plaster/adobe (and areas of board and
batten) will remain white with wooden barn red trim. The wood shingle roof will be repaired as
necessary. An outdoor patio area along the south elevation with four-rail split fencing is proposed.
Cookhouse
The proposal will repair and repaint all restorable materials and surfaces; and replace any missing
and/or irreparable materials with matching materials. The original Cookhouse exterior wall surface
will be 6" wide horizontal wood siding and painted barn red. The old schoolhouse/dining hall add-
GAPlanning\2007\PA07-0239 Vail Ranch Headquarters Comm DP\Planning\OTLRB Staff Report.doc

on (protruding from the north elevation) will be 12" wide horizontal wood siding and painted brown;
and the new kitchen add-on proposed at the rear (the west elevation) will be light tan stucco with a
corrugated metal roof to match the roofing materials of the original structure. All trim and porch
railings will be white. An outdoor patio area with white picket fencing is proposed.
Bunkhouse
The proposal will repair and repaint all restorable materials and surfaces; and replace any missing
and/or irreparable materials with matching materials. The original plaster wall surface will be
repaired as necessary and painted deep walnut green. A kitchen add-on is proposed at the rear
(the south elevation) with a light tan stucco wall finish and a corrugated metal roof to match the
roofing materials of the original structure. A trellis and an outdoor patio area along the north
elevation with a wooden three-rail split fencing is proposed. All trim on the structure will be white.
Machine Barn
The proposal will repair and repaint all restorable materials and surfaces and replace any missing
and/or irreparable materials with matching materials. The original structure's wall surface (vertical
wood siding), will be repaired as necessary and painted bam red. An add-on is proposed at the
rear (the east elevation) with a wood stained six inch siding material and a corrugated metal roof to
match the roofing materials of the original structure. Two outdoor patio areas with wooden three-
rail split fencing are proposed. All trim on the structure will be white.
Caretaker House
The caretaker house will be relocated (for the second time) across the site. The proposal will repair
and repaint all restorable materials and surfaces; and replace any missing and/or irreparable
materials with matching materials. The original plaster exterior wall surface will remain white and
the wooden trim will be painted blue/green. The wood shingle roof will be repaired as necessary.
The Water Building
The proposal will repair and repaint all restorable materials and surfaces; and replace any missing
and/or irreparable materials with matching materials. The original plaster exterior wall surface will
remain white and the wooden trim will be painted tan. The corrugated metal roof will be repaired as
necessary.
New Retail Structure
A new 7,765 square foot retail structure is proposed will provide a westem-ranch style architecture
similar to a large barn. Materials proposed for the new structure are compatible with the existing
historic structures, including board and batten wood stained siding and a corrugated roof.
Landscaping
Staff has worked with the applicant to ensure the proposed landscaping will serve to recreate the
Vail Ranch history while meeting the landscape requirements of the Highway Tourist zone. The
main feature of the landscape plan is the Southern Emigrant Trail/Butterfield Stagecoach Path that
is proposed to run through the center of the site as it did 150 years ago. The trail and other
pedestrian pathways are proposed to be a decomposed granite surface, conditioned to meet ADA
accessibility requirements. Shrubs, bushes and groundcover are strategically proposed throughout
the project site to enhance the structures and to outline the pathways. The intent is to provide an
old-west feel of the Vail Ranch era with enough landscaping to decorate the site but minimal so as
to mimic the old ranch. While turf is proposed near the center of the project (where the hay wagon
G:\Planning\2007\PA07-0239 Vail Ranch Headquarters Comm DP\Planning\OTLRB Staff Reporl.doc
4
stage is proposed) an open area of decomposed granite will also be located in the center for
various events and activities planned for the site.
The project proposes to keep the mature trees, which have been assessed by a certified arborist
and will be appropriately treated and pruned as recommended. Additional trees are provided within
the project site to provide shade and also to screen the adjacent retail centers.
Signage
The Sign Program proposes signage similar to sign design guidelines of the Old Town Specific Plan
while also complying with signage requirements of the Vail Ranch Specific Plan. The sign materials
will be carved, sandblasted, painted and/or stained wood or galvanized metal material using the
Sherwin Williams Exterior Preservation Color Palette or colors similar to the palette (as approved on
a case by case basis). The project allows for blade signs and hanging signs complementary to
each structure. All signage will be lit with external spotlights or gooseneck lighting (no internally lit
signage is proposed or permissible on site). Wooden directional signs will be provided on the site
intended for pedestrian use. In addition, a salvaged "Vail Ranch Headquarters" water tower will
serve as an architectural entrance feature.
The applicant has requested two multi-tenant monument signs along the front of the project, near
the parking lot drive aisle. Staff recommends one multi-tenant monument in order to comply with
the sign standards of the Vail Ranch Specific Plan, which allows one monument sign per site.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff requests that the Old Town Local Review Board provide comments, and a recommendation
for approval, regarding the Development Plan, Certificate of Historic Appropriateness and Sign
Program for the Vail Ranch Headquarters Complex.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The southern extension of Wolfs Store represents the rooms Wolf built to accommodate stage coach travelers. There are seven
rooms, six measuring approximately 10 feet x 11 feet and facing south, one measuring 6 feet 6 inches x 11 feet and facing west.
Each room has its own door and window. The addition has board and batten siding (12" boards, 2'/2"battens). There is a
concrete foundation/footing under the western half of the addition, but none under the eastern half. The door sills are
approximately 22 inches above ground level, indicating that steps were originally present.
As might be expected of an adobe building approximately 138 years old, there is deterioration in some areas. Termite damage to
the wood structural components, particularly the headers and door frames, exists. Rafters,ceiling joists and ceiling boards show
evidence of termite damage to some degree. Wood used in the construction of the various additions to the Wolfs Store has also
suffered from termite and/or dry rot damage. The adobe walls have suffered damage from previous roof leaks, rodent tunneling
and especially from the"wicking"effect of concrete which was poured adjacent to the original adobe walls. Vandalism has also
occurred over the years to the building.
Although the Cookhouse housed facilities for staff cooking and dining, as well as living quarters for the cook. At least two of the
rooms were used by the ranch's bookkeeper as an office and living quarters.
In viewing the eclectic differences in the roof line and structure, it is apparent that this building evolved over time into its current
configuration. Documenting the construction of the various segments is difficult, however one of the early possibilities is an 1891
"Plat of the Little Temecula Rancho....",surveyed for the settlement of Louis Wolfs estate. At essentially the same location as
where the Vail Ranch cookhouse is now located was the house of Louis Wolf and his family.
It was originally a simple rectangular building 42'x 52'to which has been added a wing 28' x 38'at the northwest corner, and two
small rooms 7'x 8'and Tx 14'on the south side.The exterior of the building was originally wood siding, but currently is white
stucco. According to an oral interview with a Vail family,member the stucco was applied circa 1950. The exterior wood trim
around most of the windows, doors,front porch support posts, and front entry doors are all painted red. The interior partitions of
this central,older portion are of single wall construction of tongue and groove boards running vertically and nailed to a horizontal
member at Floor, ceiling, and at mid-height. Ceilings are also wood, tongue and groove as are the floors.The original section has
eight rooms plus a crude simple bathroom (that may have been added into the building). The largest room is at the center of the
east side and has an 8" raised tile area for a wood stove at its west end. The northwest comer room is a kitchen. The other
rooms appear to be bedrooms. One of the two rooms adjoining the kitchen and north of the central room was the management
dining room,the small one closest to the front door was used by the ranch accountant.
A side-gabled roof covers the main original portion of the cookhouse,with an extended secondary front-gabled roof over the front
entrance porch. The roofs have exposed rafters,open eaves and are covered with corrugated metal panels. Similar roofs are on
the small southern additions, however with lower eave lines. The northwestern wing is the same, but with a perpendicular
orientation to the main portion. Open porches with extended secondary roofs supported by 6"x 6"wood posts and covered by
corrugated metal panels extend from the north and south walls of the northwestern wing. These porches serve to provide shelter
for entrances to the main structure, as well as to the added wing.
The northwestern wing was clearly built in two stages since the gable roof ridgeline of the eastern half runs north-south,while that
of the western half has a lower pitch and runs east-west. The portion of this section of the building measuring 12'x 38' is clearly
very old,and construction evidence suggests that it may have been built in the era of the Wolf Store, moved to the site, or
constructed from old true dimensional rough cut lumber. During the Vail Ranch operational era this was the dining hall for the
cowboys and ranchhands. On the west wall of this wing are two walk-in refrigerator rooms and a pantry with open shelving on
every wall. Outside of these rooms is a central hall containing laundry facilities.
The location of the Water Building has been changed and it has been reconstructed to the original dimensions. However this
does not diminish the historic significance of its presence on the Vail Ranch. Due to the type of construction materials used in the
original building (ceramic clay tile), it was not feasible to be moved. The date of construction of the original is unclear, but believed
to be circa 1920's. At some point during the early stages of a prolonged legal process leading up to the Vail Ranch Company
being given permission to build a dam to create Vail Lake,indications are that this building was originally used as a meteorological
station, to gather data. In 1964 the building became the first office for the Ranch California Water District(RCWD).
Although the building eventually was stuccoed and the windows covered by exterior shutters, according to Mr. Russ Vail and
James Vail"Sandy"Wilkinson (personal communication), these improvements were done by RCWD. When Mr. Vail lived at the
ranch the building was constructed of an extruded clay tile block measuring 9%"x 9'/2"x 36%",with 4 cells running the length of
each tile. These tiles were mortared together and stacked to create the walls 9'/:"thick. The tiles were visible. There were no
shutters on the windows originally. The building measures 20' on each side(Exhibit C). There is a single wood door opening
inward at the building's northeast corner, and one window on each wall. The front gable roof is steeply pitched,with exposed
rafters and open eaves. The roof sheathing is covered by corrugated metal panels.
The Bunk House is a large rectangle wood frame structure at the southern end of the Wolf Store/Vail Ranch Headquarters
complex. Although the date of construction has been estimated in earlier reports to be 1905, this seems unlikely.A more accurate
estimate would be circa 1906. This building does not appear to have been altered much or had any additions.The building is 30'
x 98'-3"with a corner porch recessed at the northwest comer. There is a central hall with twelve two-man bedrooms approximately
10'x 12' each, opening onto the hallway. At the southwest corner is a sitting-room with a central wood stove. At the east end is a
combination bath-room, toilet room,showers and laundry space. This portion has a concrete floor while the rest of the building
has wood floors. The fixtures and partitions in this utility area have been removed so the exact original configuration cannot be
readily determined. Some of the bunk rooms have been altered by the removal of the separating partitions. Walls and ceilings are
painted tongue and groove single-wall wood construction similar to the main ranch (cook)house. The exterior is now stucco.
Verbal history indicates that the exterior was originally wood, but was recovered with stucco circa 1950's.
The front gable roof is moderately pitched,with exposed rafters and open eaves. Like the other buildings in the complex, the roof
is covered by corrugated metal panels. There are attic vents at the east and west ends of the bunkhouse that are painted red, as
are the wood frames and sashes of the windows. There are nine windows on the south side of the building, ten on the north side,
three on the west side, and four on the east end.
Machinery Barn/Ranch Office also has been relocated from its original site so that it could be kept as part of the Vail Ranch
complex legacy. This relocation was done with an effort to rebuild it as faithfully as it appeared originally. It is comprised of two
distinct parts; it is not clear whether they were built at the same time or whether the office was(most likely)an addition,
constructed at a later date. The exact age of this structure is unknown but was certainly in use during the early years of the Vail
Ranch and most likely circa 1966. The barn portion of the building measures 31'x 99'. It has a side-gabled roof with a normal
pitch, covered by corrugated metal panels supported on open framed trussed rafters. There is a dormer window near the
southeast comer of the barn.
The barn siding is single wall board and batten (12"boards, 2 '/3"battens)that has been painted red. Many of the battens'are
either missing or have been replaced with 2"wide strips of metal, possibly cut from oil drums. The north end of the barn has two
second story windows, two first story windows, and a window in a large sliding door; none of the windows have glass. The west
side of the barn has seven cutouts for windows, but only two have regular window frames; the remaining openings are covered
with wood but appear to have been covered in a variety of materials(screen, sheet metal, heavy mesh,etc.). There are two large
sliding doors, a garage door, and a hinged door on this side of the barn.
The south side of the machinery barn has a large access opening at its southwest comer,four window cutouts that have now been
covered by either wood or metal panels, and a large opening near the roof. The east side has two large sliding doors,four small
windows above the level of the doors, and three first story window openings. None of the windows currently contain glass and all
were apparently fixed with double or triple panes.
The interior of the barn has been divided into two rooms. The northern room measures 21' x 31', and appears to have been both
a tool, parts and blacksmith shop. There is a workbench and a door to the office on the west wall; bins for machinery parts are on
the south and east walls. The larger, southern room was clearly used as a machine shop evolving as the ranch moved towards
more mechanized equipment.
The office wing extends to the west at the north end of the barn and measures 21' x 29'. It also has a side-gabled roof with
exposed rafters and open eaves, but the pitch is lower and it has a much lower eave line than the barn. The office roofing is
corrugated metal panels. The siding of the office wing is 5"wide lapped horizontal boards painted red. There are four windows on
the south side and five windows on the north side; the west side is blank except for a louvered attic vent and a wood-awninged
opening. Four-inch wide flat boards, painted white, trim the windows as well as the door on the northern wall. The interior of the
office is now divided into two rooms, the larger of which provides the main entry,and was the original office. The smaller room at
the west end was added circa 1930. The walls and ceilings are composition board with wood battens.
The Foreman's House(also known as caretaker's house,and adobe house)is another enigmatic structure on the ranch that
evolved over time, but had to be relocated in order to be saved. Since the majority of the building was on a foundation it was
movable, however the eastern portion which was originally of adobe construction was rebuilt using wood frame construction to the
original adobe wall thickness dimensions. The building is a simple rectangular plan ranch house. It measures 66 feet(ENV)x 24
feet(N/S); the eastern portion measuring 24 feet x 24 feet is the reconstructed adobe section, the remainder is wood frame
double-wall construction.
The south half of this old "adobe"section is one room with a fireplace and exposed beam ceiling. The northern half is a bedroom,
closets and a bathroom. All interior partitions within this section are wood frame. The two rooms immediately to the west of the
"adobe"section have exterior doors to the north and south. These two rooms may have been an early addition or porch for the
adobe as the roofing is the same as that over the adobe portion. The other half of this rather long and narrow house appears to
have been a later addition as the roof construction is different and there was originally a noticeable offset at the ridge line. This
west half is wood frame entirely and consists of a living room, kitchen, two bedrooms, bathroom and an enclosed porch at the
west entrance. Interior walls are pecky cedar and floors are carpet. The ceilings are wallboard and battens at 4 feet on center
both ways. Kitchen and bath have vinyl flooring. The house is in generally good repair except that there are some plumbing
problems, and damage from isolated vandalism. Exterior walls are stucco. The roofing consists of wood shingles which was
redone when it was relocated in 1999. Some earlier reports on this property varied as to when the building was first constructed,
but the most reasonable date seems to be circa 1918(noted first in the Warner report 1983). This is somewhat corroborated by
Louis Roripaugh. According to Mr. Roripaugh (Hallaran report 1991), as early as grammar school and into his early high school
days there was a Freeman family whose father was the manager of Vail Ranch. Mr. Roripaugh went to school with two of the
Freeman boys,so he sometimes spent weekends at the ranch with his friends; this was about the time they were in fourth grade.
The Freeman family lived in the caretaker's house,which according to Mr. Roripaugh was originally a small wooden building.
They had a big family and added an adobe section onto the back of the original wooden structure. Interestingly, it has generally
been assumed that the adobe section was the original structure, but Mr. Roripaugh as a primary source,clearly negates this
common misconception.
The building has a front gable roof with a low-to-moderate pitch,exposed rafters, and open eaves. There are louvered attic vents
above the main westside point of entry and foundation vents in various locations around the house. The house originally had a
cellar which was not included in the relocation of the building. The exterior of the house had been covered by white stucco before
the relocation, so there was no clear external delineation between the adobe and wood frame portions of the house except that
the window openings at the eastern end are visibly deeper, indicating thicker walls. Wood frame,double-hung windows of various
sizes are found on every side of the house. Windows in the adobe portion of the house are recessed,while the remainder are
flush,with 4-inch flat board trim and 1 Y2 inch sills painted blue-grey.
The remaining Landscape and open space is a significant contributing cultural resource to the overall historic district. Some old
original trees remain, specifically two California Sycamore at the northeast comer of the property, a large mulberry at the northeast
comer of the cookhouse, and another mulberry in front of the cookhouse. A third mulberry is on the north side of the
bunkhouse, and a California Sycamore is on the southside. A black walnut tree is in the area between the south wall of the
cookhouse, and the north side of the water building. All of these trees are original to the early Vail Ranch days. Little or no
evidence remains of the cooks garden,and other growth evidenced in early photos of the buildings and surrounding area.
Through the heart of the site is the remains of the original Southern Emigrant Trail (also known as Ft. Yuma Trail). Available early
photos show the remnants of this trail crossing the Temecula Creek and proceeding through the site. The Temecula Creek prior
to the completion of construction of the Vail Dam in 1948, had significant water in it—to the extent that only a couple of places had
solid enough base to support wagons and vehicles while fording the creek and not get mired in mud or quicksand, this area was
one of two known safe crossing points.
