The Hacienda del Pozo de Verona was a mansion designed by architect A. C.

A railroad station named Hacienda (or Hearst) was built on the Western Pacific Railroad at Verona to serve the estate.[5]
The property was acquired by a group of businessmen in 1924 and it became the original home of the Castlewood Country Club. [6] It burned down in 1969.[7]
The community of Castlewood, California formed from houses around the club. Alameda County created the Castlewood County Service Area in 1968. It currently provides road maintenance, water, and sewer services to the community.
