Lakeside: summary, description and annotation

We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "Lakeside" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.

Purchased by the El Cajon Valley Land Company in 1886, Lakeside began as a small hamlet along the banks of the San Diego River. Home to the only natural lake in San Diego County, Lakeside offered visitors throughout the century a scenic backdrop for boating, fishing, hunting, riding, and hiking. Captured here in over 200 vintage images is the history of this town located just 25 miles east of San Diego. After the San Diego Mission was established in 1769, the Padres explored the backcountry, seeking grazing lands for their livestock. Following the San Diego River upstream they came to a broad valley, which they named El Cajon, the box. In 1886, 6,600 acres were sold to the El Cajon Land Company for the Lakeside town site and a large inn was built as a resort. Due in large part to the trains coming through Lakeside in 1889, Lakeside had become a thriving community by the turn of the century.

Once the show place of Lakeside, there is still an air of grandeur surrounding the Castle House. The first home in Lakeside, which cost $9,000 in gold, was built of Redwood from Oregon with double floors of pine. The shingles on the second story and the tower were diamond-shaped. All of the original windows in the house have a border of small panes of various-colored glass, typical of Colonial days. On the first floor is a large pantry. The staircase leads to the second floor with its five bedrooms, two large hall closets, and second tower room. A narrow circular stairway leads to the top tower room, which makes an excellent observatory for viewing the valley.

George H. Mansfield, vice-president of the El Cajon Valley Land Company, was a bachelor from New York. The El Cajon Land Company built the Castle House in 1887 for him as a show place in the style popular in New England at that time.
