Rohr Manor | Go to Interactive Map.....
Named
for Rohr Park's benefactor, this two-story wood and brick house
sits in the center of the park. Although it's form and function
have been altered over time, Rohr Manor still looks much the same
as it did when it was built in 1938 by Chula Vista contractor, Howard
Sebastian. The house changed hands several times up until 1955 when
it was purchased by Rohr Aircraft Corporation.
Rohr Aircraft was a very large part of the City of Chula Vista,
at one point employing as many as 9,000 people. It's owner, Fred
Rohr, cared about the health and well-being of his employees so
much that he used company money to provide recreation facilities.
During the 1940's and early 50's, he accomplished this by leasing
the San Diego Country Club for use by his employees. In 1955, however,
Rohr provided his employees with a place of their own. When he purchased
the land that to this day bears his name, the house became his as
well, and he used it as a recreation center for his employees.
Ownership of the house and property has changed hands only once
more - to the City of Chula Vista.
Rohr Manor and Rohr Park have been, and will continue to be enduring
symbols of the City of Chula Vista's Parks Division.
