Santa Ynez Sites

The National Industrial Recovery Act helped construct 2 1/2 miles of road from the Santa Ynez river to Santa Ynez. Two bridges were constructed, one, a 765-foot reinforced concrete bridge across the Santa Ynez river, and a 128-foot reinforced concrete bridge over the Santa Argueda creek. Completion date: Nov. 1934 From Google maps street view, it looks as if further reconstruction has since occurred because the the bridge over the Santa Ynez river is no longer connected to the highway and is abandoned.

Lyla Harcoff painted these three oil on canvas lunettes for the school's library and study hall in 1936. The murals depict a Native American theme, a Spanish American theme, and a white American agricultural theme respectively.
