A 35 mm film can at the supposedly haunted Snell barn. This will require a little bit a of gymnastics to grab and replace.
Adam Grant started buying land from local families, including the Bernals, in 1880. His son, Joseph Grant, inherited the land which eventually became the property of Joseph's daughter, Josephine Grant McCreery, who lived there until 1972. At the Grant Ranch, which is now a county park, the family's main house, servants quarters, and the "wedding" or guest cottage can still be seen.
On the property are also the large and interesting Snell Barn and a small line cottage. There once was a small café near the main house; actually where Quimby Road now intersects with Mt. Hamilton Road. This now is gone as is the old Rancho Grandview Bar (the roof line of which can still be seen roughly across the street from the Rancho Grandview Restaurant).
There was also a store and hotel at Smith Creek, about where the ranger station now is situated, that served those brave souls who rode up to Lick Observatory in the horse and buggy days. These buildings are also gone.
