The historic Main Ranch dates to the 1850s. This is a view
from the ridge to the
south of the ranch looking north. Almost all of the buildings at
the ranch were build in the 19th century, including the following:
-
The Horse Barn on the northern side of the complex
dates to the late 1880s. Most of the building materials
(including the bricks) were manufactured on the island.
-
The Milk Barn on the western end of the complex also
dates to the late 1880s. Most of the building materials were
also manufactured on the island.
-
The chapel (La Capillia de Santa Cruz del Rosario) on the northern end of the
Main Ranch
complex dates to 1891
-
The adobe on the south side of the complex dates to
the 1850s.
-
The winery buildings (located on the eastern end of the
ranch) date to the late 1880s and were built from mostly island
manufactured materials. Grapes were crushed in the upper
building, and the wine was fermented in the lower building (fermentation
cellar).
-
The Comedor is located on the south side of the
ranch and also dates to the 1880s
