The buildings went up in 1991 in a Spanish idiom, two stories, on twenty acres beside the Tijeras Creek Golf Club. Tijeras is Spanish for scissors. The creek it names ran past the Acjachemen village of Alume, which stood between Trabuco Creek and Tijeras Creek, and the Trabuco Adobe was raised beside that village in 1810 as an outpost of Mission San Juan Capistrano.
