Garnier Building (Los Angeles, California)

USA / California / Los Angeles / Los Angeles, California
 building, historic landmark
Don Vicente De La Osa died in 1861, and his widow Rita sold the property to James Thompson in 1867, who raised sheep on the rancho for two years. Thompson in turn sold the property to two Basque brothers, Eugene and Phillipe Garnier, in 1869. Eugene Garnier built a two-story limestone farmhouse similar to the former family home in France, and a brick-lined pool shaped like a Spanish guitar. The Garniers also raised sheep on the property, and were known for the fine quality of their fleece, but they in turn became overextended and lost the property to foreclosure in 1878.
