3. Buildings and Historic Resources 



The Mclsaac Ranch contains eight historic buildings, a historic highway 

 bridge, and six newer structures. 



a. Main Residence 



The Mclsaac residence consists of two buildings joined together: the 

 original home built as early as 1866, and the Codoni home built in 1884. The 

 older house is a one-story simple farmhouse with a gable roof and open porches 

 on both sides of the structure. It has an altered and modernized interior, in 

 use for decades as the ranch kitchen. The 1884 addition is two stories, with a 

 hipped roof with decorative cornice and brackets, horizontal drop siding and a 

 stone and mortar foundation. Overall the house measures 28' by 54'. The 

 house has had a number of exterior alterations, including replacement of 

 windows with aluminum sash, loss of original chimneys and front porch, 

 replacement of the original front door facing the highway with a sliding double 

 glass door; the interior alterations are mainly in the bathrooms. Originally the 

 house had a number of chimneys, but after the 1906 earthquake they were 

 consolidated into one. This main chimney was replaced some years ago by Don 

 Mclsaac. The house is in good condition. A modern carport is attached to the 

 northwest corner of the house. Because of the extent and number of 

 alterations, the house possesses only fair historic integrity. 



b. Hay Barn 



This barn is the only one of its kind in the area. It is a large, 50' x 55', 

 steep pitch gable-roof barn with old shed additions around three sides. The 

 siding is wood board and batten. The barn is built into the hillside, with the 

 hayloft extending over the hillside a short distance. The major portion of the 

 hayloft in the main barn has been removed and many of the rafters used to 

 strengthen the barn. The barn has a concrete floor, installed about 1906, and 

 the remains of a manure conveyor system. Milking stanchions have been 

 removed. The roof is corrugated metal although one section at this writing is 

 original wood shingle and badly deteriorated. The barn is in fair condition, but 

 possesses good historic integrity.
