WELCOME TO San Luis Obispo,

This house was one of the original homes of Santa Margarita (Santa Margarita Historical Society), built by Southern Pacific Railroad co. around the late 1800's. 

During prohibition it was the home of the Constable and the Judge of Santa Margarita (the same person).  The still standing, original jail house is just down the street (a rock throw away).

Over time the sun porch, laundry area & bathroom have come under attack and were badly damaged from termites and dry rot.

The plan is to remove the sun porch completely (224 sq ft).  Build a new structure in its place. make the new structure look like it was built in the 1800's and blend it in with the old structure.

We have an old wine cellar and are excited to learn this is where the Constable/judge,  used to hide the "hooch" he confiscated during prohibition.

• There is just no arguing with the police, especially if he is also the judge (what a job)

 Foundation

Trenches are dug to accommodate the new footings

The 2nd story walls are going up and a portion of the existing structure's roof has been removed.

The second story of the new structure is cantilevered into the existing structure and our replica, decorative truss is in place. 

All thats left on the outside is to finish the handrail and paint

The paint and the hand rail are done (still need the bats)

This is the master bedroom shower.  The floor is made out of real river stones.

 The demolishing begins

 Forms are laid out for the footings to be poured

First floor, consisting of the dinning room, stairs and a bathroom is framed and shear paneled.

• 14 x 26 = 364 sq. ft. 
• About 140 sq. ft. bigger than the previous sun porch, laundry room & bathroom configuration.

The decks and roof are being built. Building the decks will give us a safe platform to install 2nd story shear panel.  

The Shear is on and the structure is water
tight, almost.

This is the master bedroom 20'x16'

Almost finished
