Step into the fruitful days of early 1900s Los Altos

In 1901, when he was 25 years old, Smith bought five acres along the unpaved two-lane Giffin Road, "a little dirt lane" that snaked all the way from El Camino Real up to La Honda.

Gilbert Smith pitched a tent on his property - "amidst the owl clover and California poppies" - while building a house and tank tower. Those structures still stand today, having survived one of the area's worst earthquakes in 1906.
