Aerial view of the grounds: Walter P. Temple, Jr., whose family owned the Homestead in the 1920s, later became an enthusiastic amateur painter and this aerial view of the ranch, made from the photograph below, shows what he once said in an oral history that it was something of a mini-Disneyland for a teenager! (he also has this sentence paired with the aerial view photo.
Painting by Wally Temple
