about 1950 and stayed in business with stepson Pat Martin until 1972. The 

 Zanardis leased the pasture but continued to reside at the ranch. In 1984 Pat 

 Martin took over the ranch. Later that year the Zanardi Ranch was purchased 

 by the National Park Service from Louis and Anna Zanardi. The grazing land is 

 now leased to Barbara Hall. 195 



3. Buildings and Historic Resources 



The Zanardi Ranch contains most of its original structures dating from 

 the 1870s and 1880s. There are 14 historic buildings on the property. 



a. Main Residence 



The home Luigi Mazza built in 1886 is a two story wood frame dwelling 

 with gable roof and two gable dormers. It is attached to the pioneer dwelling of 

 the ranch, possibly built before 1869. Overall the house measures 48' by 28', 

 has a hip roof porch with chamfered posts, horizontal drop siding, and 

 aluminum sash windows which have replaced the original wood sash. The 

 house has a stone foundation and a wine cellar. The older portion has been 

 remodeled extensively into a modern kitchen. The main house has seen some 

 remodeling, although the exterior and upstairs interior have had few 

 alterations. The house is in good condition. Although there have been some 

 alterations, the historic integrity of the Zanardi house is good. 



b. Creamery/Dwelling 



This building may have been built around 1870. The Mazzas lived here 

 before moving into the 1886 home. This small, two-story wood frame building, 

 24' by 16', has dwelling rooms upstairs, and the old dairy house on the ground 

 floor has been converted to a garage with a shed addition. It has horizontal 

 drop siding, is painted gray, and is in fair condition. The creamery has seen 

 alterations, and it possesses fair historic integrity.
