While exploring the LAX area, I found reference to the Centinela Adobe as a landmark to visit. The docent Diane was “perfect” as she addressed my general questions but also the Architecture Student who was on the tour. The history was particularly interesting to me as Canadian Daniel Freeman (1837-1918) owned the property, was the founder of Inglewood, and the first President of the LA Chamber of Commerce. Wonderful to hear how a Canadian played such a pivotal role. A few days later when lunching with friends one chatted about the Huntington Library - having just learned about the connection with Henry Huntington we had a lovely conversation about both historical sights. Looking forward to exploring more “yesteryear” with the Huntington library next.
