La Casa De Carrión
Carrion's uncle Ygnacio Palomares was elected the last Mexican California mayor of Los Angeles in 1848, but held the position briefly due to Colonel Jonathan Stevenson considering him intolerable and anti-American, following the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo on February 2, 1848.
The Rancho San Jose consisted of land taken from the Mission San Gabriel in 1834 as part of the Mexican government's secularization decree of 1833. In 1837, Mexican Governor Juan Bautista Alvarado granted the land to Ygnacio Palomares and Ricardo Vejar, both Californio sons of New Spain natives. The Rancho San Jose operated by Dons Palomares and Vejar covered land that now forms the communities of Pomona, LaVerne, San Dimas, Diamond Bar, Azusa, Covina, Walnut, Glendora, and Claremont.
In 1887 La Casa de Carrión became part of the new town call Lordsburg, named after the new owner, Isaac W. Lord, of the land around the ranch. The house is still a private residence in La Verne, California. Paul E. Traweek restored the old home in 1951.
