March 14, 2009 Fortsat fra sidste side ~ Continued from last page Dansk tekst til venstre English text on the right Dagens baghave: Backyard of the Day: O'Neill Museum, San Juan Capistrano, Orange County, California O'Neill Museum is located at 31831 Los Rios Street in San Juan Capistrano, Orange County, California   Lige rundt om hjørnet fra Zoomars faldt vi over O'Neill Museet. Det er tilholdssted for San Juan Capistranos Historiske Samfund, og er et af byens første træhuse, bygget i 1870erne. Just around the corner from Zoomars we fell over the O'Neill Museum. It houses the San Juan Capistrano Historical Society, and is one of the town's first frame houses, built in the 1870s.       Huset, som oprindeligt lå på den anden side af jernbanen, er bygget af saloon-ejer Jose Dolores Garcia til hans kone Maria Refugio Yorba. I 1896 henvendte nogle af byens bedste borgere sig til Garcia, og bad ham om at sælge huset. Han nægtede, og blev kort efter myrdet af Metizo Flores. Flores blev kendt skyldig for mordet, men det blev aldrig bevist, at dem, der ville købe huset, stod bag, på trods af, at rygterne føg. The house, originally situated on the other side of the railroad, was built by saloon owner Jose Dolores Garcia for his wife Maria Refugio Yorba. In 1896 Garcia was approached by some prominent citizens, who wanted him to sell the house. He refused, and was shortly after murdered by Metizo Flores. Flores was convicted of the murder, but it was never proven that those who wanted to buy the house were behind the plot, although rumors flew.

Badeværelset blev bygget til i 1895, kort før Jose Dolores Garcia blev myrdet. The bathroom was added in 1895, shortly before Jose Dolores Garcia was killed.     Garcia familien solgte huset til Albert Pryor i 1903, og Pryor familien boede her indtil 1950erne. Senere blev huset lejet ud, men lejerne flygtede, fordi Albert Pryors spøgelse havde for vane at sidde ude på verandaen. The Garcia family sold the house to Albert Pryor in 1903, and the Pryor family lived here till the 1950s. Later the house was rented out, but the tenants fled because the ghost of Albert Pryor was in the habit of sitting on the porch.

Køkkenet blev bygget til i 1920erne, og det varede endnu nogle år, inden et komfur blev installeret. Indtil da foregik madlavningen udenfor. The kitchen was added in the 1920s, and it was yet another few years before a stove was installed. Until then most of the cooking took place outside.
