What is The Promontory?

The Promontory is the massive rock structure above the O’Donnell golf course – it was constructed as a make-work project during the Depression to give locals a job. O’Donnell paid $2.50 a day for anyone in need, to stack stone in order to construct its massive walls.  It’s amazing rock work has stood the test of time — including several earthquakes.  A crypt was tunneled into the mountain for O’Donnell and his wife but then found out they could not be buried there because it was against the law.  When I was kid — the local churches used it for Easter Sunrise Services.  By the way – it’s for sale for $1,495,000 – give me a call if interested…
