Donations helped us purchase the plans for the 1917 remodel of the Big House! Thank you, Donors!

Thanks to our generous donors, we now have nine high-quality scans of the 1917 architectural plans by California architect H.A. Minton. We were also able to print them an frame them to protect them for showing during tours.

Thank you, Janice Gonzales, Kathryn Kasch, Elizabeth Terplan, Beth Armstrong, Patty Lacy, Norma Macias, Sally and John Holmes, Victor Wong, Doug and Doris Green, Connie Chew, Caren Breschini, and Ann Zeigler.

The plans show what the house was before and after the remodel and how Minton adapted the Big House for the third generation of the Shinn family.
