What great reporting. I love hearing the history of old times in the Valley. Thank you so much. How sad to read that the fall resulted in his institutionalization. Hopefully that happens less these days.
Thank you, Mariam Hansen! And great photos of hops as yet another award-winning crop in 19th century Napa Valley! Wondering...when you say "[Glock] started by renting the rich bottom land near the Napa River at Pope Valley Road (now Pope Street) from David Cole."...do you know which side of now-Pope street that was? Vineyard Valley side or Stonebridge/NVC side?
I lived on Lodi Lane for years (while working across the street at what was then Barrel Builders) and always assumed that the ruins were an old winery. Thanks.
Super interesting! Thank you
Thank you for solving the mystery. I figured it was storage for SOMETHING, but I didn't know what. Great research!
I wondered again at the ruin's history as I drove by last week. Thanks for a great story!
Yes, we have always wondered about that ruin! Glad the mystery is solved!
Very interesting! Thank you.
Really fascinating and thorough coverage on NV HOPS
