Kick off
The photos in this blog capture a piece of Leona Valley history from 1913 till about 1930 and are from various Hall family members. In 1913 my grandfather Frank D Hall bought the 3000 acre St. Anthony Ranch, the valley was then known as Leonis. He changed the name of the ranch to Leona Valley Ranch and set about building a dairy farm, but things didn't work out so well. My dad, also Cliff, grew up on the ranch.
The Leona Valley Town Council has a history document here:

It does look like a cave! Where was this picture taken in Leona Valley?
ReplyDeleteSouth end of 90th St W. I think is was hand dug for a root cellar. Might still be there, but could of caved in by now. If the horse barn is still there would be behind it.
ReplyDeleteThe Cliff in these photos is my Dad.
