Sorry to hear that Peter. - Jason Shellen
My husband and I were greatly saddened and distressed to hear about the destruction of the Stone House and so much of the surrounding area that was dear to my husband's father, Harry Lafler, who-- as you know-- built the Stone House in 1925 and homesteaded Lafler Canyon in 1909. We are following the story on the Internet but would also appreciate hearing from you when you know the extent of the damage. - Joanne Lafler
Joanne, amazing you found me! i'm heading down today, hoping to see what's there, hoping to the high heavens that the stone work remains....will send an update once i know more - Peter Fenton
Thanks for your reply, Peter. I found you through Denise Sallee, who was the first to inform us about the ravages of the fire. The house has not been in the Lafler family since the early 1960s, when John's mother was in a bad financial way and had to sell the remaining Lafler property in Big Sur, but John and I had spent our honeymoon there some years earlier and we still feel a strong attachment to it. More than strong! John hardly remembers his father, who died when John was only five, so the house was a tangible connection. We have not been up there for about 25 years, when we had permission of the then owner to scatter his mother's ashes. I am in the final stages of writing a biography of Harry Lafler, and I never imagined that it would end this way. So yes, please, let us know how much of the structure survived. I suppose that at some time we might wish to pay our last respects, if that is all right with you. you are ever interested in seeing photographs of the early history of the house-- - Joanne Lafler
.just back from the remains of house, hill still on fire we had helicopters above us dumping water as we climbed up the smokey hillside. heartbroken, but also still felt the magic of the place. i'll post photos tonight. needless to say i shed more than a tear. joanne. pls email me at pfenton@benchmark.com. would love to share photos, etc - Peter Fenton
