Montecito Historical Preservation

Montecito Historical Preservation

Designated a historical landmark, the Juarez-Hosmer Adobe has been in Montecito for almost two centuries. Due to its colorful history—at one time it served as a school house–it was essential to preserve the original character of the home, as well as its historical value. The preservation project totaled four structures–including the original adobe built between 1830 and 1840, which stands as one of the few remaining examples of adobe architecture in the Southwest. Sitting on a rock foundation, the adobe has two-foot thick walls, two windows and three doors.

Juares Hosmer - BeforeThe adobe, built by Victor Delores Juarez after his marriage to Maria Dominquez, was not their primary residence, but served as an outbuilding for the Juarez’ sons. It was a place to sleep, and served as a guardhouse to help keep bears and mountain lions away from the farm animals. When Victor passed in the late 1860’s, Maria sold the seventeen acre parcel including the adobe, to Bradbury True Dinsmore who started a citrus ranch there in 1871. When his daughter married, he gave the ranch to her and her husband Thomas Hosmer, where they raised four children. The property is also home to several historic trees including a California Sycamore which was planted in 1852.

Residential Construction Project - San YsidroYoung Construction worked with architectural historians and adobe construction experts in the careful planning and oversight of this project. The project goal was to mitigate the deterioration of historic resources, and preserve the integrity of the site. Distinctive materials, architectural features, and spatial relationships remained intact, maintaining the home’s original charm.

Client Words

In my opinion, one of the most important building blocks of a successful enterprise is communication. Young Construction has developed what I consider a first-class approach to project communication; both with the architect and the owner. This is especially important when the owner is absentee or lives out of town. I believe the highest compliment a builder could receive is to be selected to build an architect’s personal residence. In that regard, I have trusted the Young brothers to build TWO residences for me over the years.

When the Hutton Parker Foundation purchased a very visible office building on State street and decided to make it an arts center we knew that the contractor that we would select would have to understand not just quality construction, but also how to work with the tenants moving into the building. We decided on Young Construction and it ended up being a wonderful partnership. We were pleased and the tenants were all happy. I feel confident recommending them to anyone needing construction done.
