Description: David Hewes orange groves, packing house and Hewes Park, El Modena, California, ca. 1910. Image shows aerial view of Hewes property, with citrus groves in foregound, water tower near ranch house in center, and more groves in background. To right of center is newly laid out Hewes park. David Hewes (1822-1915), was a capitalist, philanthropist and land developer. Around 1885 Hewes purchased approximately 820 acres near El Modena and built a home he named Anapauma (Spanish for "place of rest".) In 1905 he hired Robert G. Fraser, developer of the Busch Gardens in Pasadena, to design a park on his land, located at the corner of Esplanade and La Veta Avenue. Hewes Park was a popular local picnic spot from 1905 on into the 1940s.
