Hi Jim, I am wondering why you are looking for the Rice ranch. My maternal grandmother's maiden name was Rice and I am having a time finding anything on her father, Charles Frederick. Are we hunting down the same ally? By the way, your SF's Lost Landmarks was a big hit as a Christmas present. I thank you for it.

Hi Sandra, I'm not sure why it's called Rice Ranch. I know it didn't produce rice so it may be an earlier owner. In 1900, it was owned by Joseph Briggen. I'm glad SF's Lost landmarks went over well. Thanks for the feedback. Jim -- James R.
