Original Floor Plan - Pre-1847. The original hacienda did not include the building in the upper right corner which was added later. The use of right angles was apparently not as important then as it seems to be now. |

Current Floor Plan of Hacienda - Restoration of 2001-2002. A very modern new kitchen and restrooms were added to the back part of the hacienda and a covered deck was built in the central interior courtyard. |
