2. The text for the HDP shall be modified to read in its entirety as follows:
EL HORNO
EI Horno Street, Spanish for "The Oven," extends from here, under the 1-5
Freeway and on to EI Camino Real. The street name commemorates
ovens, better known as kilns, that were once located alongside the hill
above the street in the early Mission days, about the 1780s.
Only one kiln, out of a possible four known, remains under the soil.
Erosion of the hill and subsequent homes built into the hillside cover
remnants. of the ovens. Several years ago the City bought the lot behind a
home on which the one known kiln is located, preserved the kiln and
covered it with soil to protect it from the elements. The kiln extends ten
feet below the soil and is approximately 12 feet in diameter. It may have
exceeded 20 feet in height but its dome was destroyed long ago. It is
believed to be the largest kiln in California. Access to it is through a
privately owned residential lot.
The Franciscan padres taught the Native American Juanenos of the
Acjachemen Nation how to build these kilns to fire the roof and floor tiles
for construction of the Mission buildings. The ovens were also used to
produce lime for brick mortar and plaster to cover the Mission adobe walls.
