TEAM OF 150+ BUILDERS, CRAFTSMEN, AND PRESERVATION PROFESSIONALS SPECIALIZING IN HISTORIC CONSTRUCTION

Spectra Company served as the General Contractor for two of our most significant historic structures on the Pala reservation, restoring the Blacktooth House and rehabilitating the Calac Adobe. Spectra did a fantastic job restoring the integrity and character of one of the original houses on the reservation and one of the last remaining adobe structures that was deteriorating. I enjoyed the attentiveness and experience of the Spectra Team, and it only adds to their preservation expertise now that Dick Gee – originally our historic architect for these projects – is now part of the Spectra Team.

The Palomares family lived in the house for seventeen years. In 1867, Francisco Palomares, the son of Ygnacio Palomares (who built the home), and his wife Donna Lujardo Alvarado, moved to La Casa Primera where they stayed until Francisco passed in 1882. While living there, Francisco discovered the first artesian well in the valley and began planting orange trees. Some of them survive on the site today. In 1874, Francisco, Cyrus Burdick, and P.C. Tonner formed the Old Settlement Water Company. The original open canal or ‘zanja’, crossed Old Settlers Lane and continued to a reservoir near Holt Ave. Portions of the stone-lined ditch are still visible today.
