"In 1903, Heard and his wife Marie constructed a 6,000-square-foot Spanish Colonial Revival mansion they named "Casa Blanca." Located at the corner of Monte Vista and Central, the home was the cornerstone of future Alvarado and was a frequent stop for visitors and dignitaries from throughout the nation.
Sensing the promise this north central location held, Heard purchased the entire quarter section of land on which his estate was located.
In 1909, he subdivided the 160 acres, which ranged from Central Ave to Seventh Street and McDowell Road to Oak Street, in to 32 parcels of five acres each.Intended for upscale, estate size homes, the project, named Los Olivos, was the most prestigious of the early suburban home-site subdivisions with the largest lots available.
Preparing the project for sale, Heard provided numerous plantings throughout the subdivision, including hundreds of palm trees."
