In 1928, San Clemente had about 200 homes ranging from $2,000-$75,000 in price with most at the low end of the scale. All buildings in town were Spanish-style white stucco with red handmade tile roofs.

One of the most lavish patios was at Ole Hanson's house, now Casa Romantica. Mr. Hanson had a large lagoon and fish pond in the center, wall panels and mural decorations, barbecue pit, small side patios and a dance floor. Art objects included china elephants, helmets, breast plates, coats of mail and Chinese wicker furniture. The main entrance was decorated with potted plants, hanging baskets of ferns and a fountain. Today it is a major tourist attraction and used for many weddings.
