Oil-burning "patent" kiln on the former Cowell Ranch

An oil-burning "patent" kiln on the former Cowell Ranch. Oil-fired kilns began to be used in the 1880's as timber became scarce. Two older pit style kilns are visible to the left of the "patent" kiln. This site is now part of the UCSC campus, near the Main Entrance.
