A Stone Marvel: El Alisal
Clip: Season 8 Episode 1 | 4m 22s
Charles Lummis' stone house along the Arroyo Seco is now a designated cultural monument.
Today, "El Alisal" — Charles Lummis' stone house along the Arroyo Seco — stands quietly for most of the year. But the now designated cultural monument was once bustling with sound. If walls could speak, they would surely tell of the many "noises" (artistic gatherings) and musical recording sessions that took place in the property regularly.
