- Notes:
- Significance: In the 1920s, the Santa Fe Land Improvement Company, a subsidiary of the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway, developed Rancho Santa Fe as a community of "gentlemen's ranches" in the hills north of San Diego. Winding roads joining small farms contrast with the formal, axial commercial core. Here architect Lilian Rice designed buildings in the Spanish Revival style, a style that became standard for buildings in the community. Rancho Santa Fe's unified architectural design, creative landscape plan, and origin as a design-controlled community contribute to its important role in the history of community development. / Rancho Santa Fe, in North San Diego County, was planned in the 1920s as a community of Spanish Revival style buildings with a formal commercial and residential core. Between 1832 and 1845 the Mexican government deeded land totaling 8824.71 acres - and including today's Rancho Santa Fe - to Juan Maria Osuna, first alcalde (mayor) of San Diego. Called Rancho San Dieguito, this land grant was confirmed by the American government in 1870. Two adobe structures built and occupied by Osuna and his family are still extant in 1991. After Osuna's death, his heirs gradually sold off the land; in 1906, all but 374 acres of the original Rancho grant were acquired by the Santa Fe Land Improvement Company, a subsidiary of the Atchison, Topeka, and Santa Fe Railway. The land was used to grow eucalyptus trees, imported from Australia for use as railroad ties. By 1914, over 3000 acres had been planted with eucalyptus, but the next year the project was abandoned when it was discovered that eucalyptus wood was not suitable for this intended purpose. The Santa Fe Land Improvement Company, under the direction of Vice President W.E. Hodges, then turned its attention to developing the land for horticultural and residential use. By 1918, the Lake Hodges Dam had been built on the San Dieguito River, thus making water available for irrigation and domestic use. L.G. Sinnard was hired to survey the land, plan the roads and lay out a preliminary subdivision. His proposals, made in report of September 1921, included a small "civic center," which would provide "efficient community service," linked to the surrounding orchards and residential lots by a system of curved, winding roads that followed the natural terrain. Restrictions would be placed on the minimum cost and design of buildings, as well as the "proper maintenance of orchard plantings and improvements," to ensure that an elite community of ranches and estates would be established. In 1922, Rancho San Dieguito was renamed Rancho Santa Fe, and the development of Sinnard's plan began. Lilian Rice, of the San Diego firm of Requa and Jackson, and one of the first female graduates of the University of California, Berkeley School of Architecture, was hired as the resident architect. She conceived the civic center as a compact, mixed-use commercial and residential area, with a formalized, axial plan featuring a main, landscaped boulevard (Paseo Delicias) and a major terminating focal point (La Morada). Rice's imaginative and exclusive use of the Spanish Revival style provided an architectural link to California's history as a Spanish colony and Rancho Santa Fe's as a Mexican land grant. Several commercial and residential structures designed by Rice still stand in the civic center. In 1927, the residents of Rancho Santa Fe enacted a protective covenant, which perpetuated the architectural and horticultural restrictions of the Santa Fe Land Improvement Company, to be enforced by the Rancho Santa Fe Association and Art Jury. Still in effect today, the covenant has ensured the harmonious appearance of the community.

If Digital Images Are Displaying
You can download online images yourself. Alternatively, you can purchase copies of various types through Library of Congress Duplication Services.
HABS/HAER/HALS materials have generally been scanned at high resolution that is suitable for most publication purposes (see Digitizing the Collection for further details about the digital images).
- Photographs--All photographs are printed from digital files to preserve the fragile originals.
- Make note of the Call Number and Item Number that appear under the photograph in the multiple-image display (e.g., HAER, NY,52-BRIG,4-2).
- If possible, include a printout of the photograph.
- Drawings--All drawings are printed from digital files to preserve the fragile originals.
- Make note of the Survey Number (e.g., HAER NY - 143) and Sheet Number (e.g., "Sheet 1 of 4"), which appear on the edge of the drawing. (NOTE: These numbers are visible in the Tiff "Reference Image" display.)
- If possible, include a printout of the drawing.

- Make note of the Call Number in the catalog record.
If Digital Images Are Not Displaying
In the rare case that a digital image for HABS/HAER/HALS documentation is not displaying online, select images for reproduction through one of these methods:
- Visit the Prints & Photographs Reading Room and request to view the group (general information about service in the reading room is available at: http://www.loc.gov/rr/print/info/001_ref.html). It is best to contact reference staff in advance (see: http://www.loc.gov/rr/print/address.html) to make sure the material is on site. OR
- P&P reading room staff can provide up to 15 quick copies of items per calendar year (many original items in the holdings are too old or fragile to make such copies, but generally HABS/HAER/HALS materials are in good enough condition to be placed on photocopy machines). For assistance, see our Ask a Librarian page OR
- Hire a freelance researcher to do further selection for you (a list of researchers in available at: http://www.loc.gov/rr/print/resource/013_pic.html).
- You can purchase copies of various types, including quick copies, through Library of Congress Duplication Services (price lists, contact information, and order forms for Library of Congress Duplication Services are available on the Duplication Services Web site):
- Make note of the Call Number listed above.
- Look at the Medium field above. If it lists more than one item:
- The entire group can be ordered as photocopies or high-quality copies.
- All the items in a particular medium (e.g., all drawings, all photographs) can be ordered as photocopies or high-quality copies.

Please use the following steps to determine whether you need to fill out a call slip in the Prints and Photographs Reading Room to view the original item(s). In some cases, a surrogate (substitute image) is available, often in the form of a digital image, a copy print, or microfilm.
-
Is the item digitized? (A thumbnail (small) image will
be visible on the left.)
-
Yes, the item is digitized. Please use the digital image in preference to requesting the original. All images can be viewed at a large size when you are in any reading room at the Library of Congress. In some cases, only thumbnail (small) images are available when you are outside the Library of Congress because the item is rights restricted or has not been evaluated for rights restrictions.
As a preservation measure, we generally do not serve an original item when a digital image is available. If you have a compelling reason to see the original, consult with a reference librarian. (Sometimes, the original is simply too fragile to serve. For example, glass and film photographic negatives are particularly subject to damage. They are also easier to see online where they are presented as positive images.)
-
No, the item is not digitized. Please go to #2.
-
-
Do the Access Advisory or Call Number fields above indicate that
a non-digital surrogate exists, such as microfilm or copy prints?
-
Yes, another surrogate exists. Reference staff can direct you to this surrogate.
-
No, another surrogate does not exist. Please go to #3.
-
-
If you do not see a thumbnail image or a reference to another surrogate, please fill out a call slip in the Prints and Photographs Reading Room. In many cases, the originals can be served in a few minutes. Other materials require appointments for later the same day or in the future. Reference staff can advise you in both how to fill out a call slip and when the item can be served.
To contact Reference staff in the Prints and Photographs Reading Room, please use our Ask A Librarian service or call the reading room between 8:30 and 5:00 at 202-707-6394, and Press 3.
