The
Olivas Adobe
Horno
(Outdoor Baking Oven)
|
This
beautiful new horno was constructed in the Olivas Adobe courtyard
by
the Bricklayers & Allied Craftworkers
Local Union No. 4.
The work was done as a community service project
for the union's
apprentice program,
under the supervision of
Marcelo Crespi, Field
Representative.
The apprentice craftsmen were
John Anderson, Sean Marshall, and Alfonso
Morales.
We wish to thank Ron Bach Construction and Newton Building Materials
for the donation of materials and supplies.
