Pictured: Siebe School was a one-room schoolhouse located on the old Benicia-Cordelia Road near the Foley Ranch, Pierce Station and Goodyear Station. The building itself was later relocated, but eventually destroyed by fire. Mr. Siebe deeded the property with the understanding that it was to be used only for a school. This photo was taken around 1912 during a rare snowfall.
Francisca Benicia Carillo de Vallejo (1815-1891) was born into a prominent family at the Presidio of San Diego in 1815. She married Mariano Vallejo in 1832. The following year, the young couple was posted to the Presidio in San Francisco. The city of Benicia was named in her honor. Photo courtesy of the Vallejo Naval and Historical Museum.
