Plans for preserving the famous old stone house built in Highland Park by world-famed archeologist and historian, Charles F. Lummis, will be discussed in a public meeting at the Southwest Museum, which he founded. Photo shows the house "El Alisal", or "Place of Sycamores", which Lummis spent 17 years building virtually with his own hands. It will become a memorial museum if plans materialize. Photograph dated: November 7, 1949.
