Vokes, owner of Vokes Motors in San Fernando, said that the old Pico house at 451 Mission Blvd., San Fernando, will be razed next month to make way for a proposed $80,000 expansion of his auto facilities. The home belonged to the late Katherine Pico Praster, a first cousin to the famed Gen. Pio Pico. Vokes said that he purchased the old residence from Mrs. Praster's daughter, Mrs. Bertha Emery, 1124 Phillip St., San Fernando, last month."
