| What is it? | A few distant, decaying rafters marking an old lime kiln! |
| What makes it historical? | THE GUIDE SAYS: The Chatsworth Calera is one of the few surviving representative structures of the early 19th century lime industry. This kiln marked the introduction to California of the European industrial process for vitrifying limestone building blocks which were used in the construction of the missions.
OTHER TIDBITS: Calera just means “limestone quarry” or “lime kiln” in Spanish! |
