Throughout much of this area, red fir stands had burned, experience extensive windfall, or both. A yellow slime mold was fairly common among the uprooted trees.
Dos magnÃficas y valiosas figuras de bronce que fueron donadas por la famimia aristocrática Lyon a la ciudad de Santiago
El propio señor Ricardo Lyon, casado con doña Loreto Cousiño Goyenechea y propietario del fundo, habÃa hecho instalar las estatuas en su terreno adquirido sobre parte de la que antes habÃa sido la vieja Chacra de Lo Bravo, por ahà por donde está hoy la avenida Los Leones, justamente. Se loteó un tiempo después el fundo "Los Leones", de 1.200 hectáreas, y asà desapareció atravesado por las lÃneas de la ciudad. Este cuadrante corresponde al que se halla actualmente entre las calles Providencia, Lota, Ricardo Lyon y la mencionada Los Leones, aunque otras fuentes de la época señalan que colindaba incluso con avenida Pedro de Valdivia
Otro detalle interesante es que la presencia de estas estatuas en la hacienda era un emblema relativo al apellido de su familia, cuya traducción y escudo heráldico era precisamente, alusivo al icono del León. Su diseño, sin embargo, no es exclusivo: está basado en las figuras de leones ornamentales parisinos producidos por la famosa fundición Val d'Osne y fueron creadas en el siglo XIX por el escultor Paul Edouard Delabrière bajo la dirección del artista Pierre-Louis Rouillard

Two magnificent and valuable bronze figures that were donated by the Lyon aristocratic family to the city of Santiago
Mr. Ricardo Lyon himself, married to Mrs. Loreto Cousiño Goyenechea and owner of the farm, had had the statues installed on his purchased land on part of what had previously been the old Lo Bravo farm, around where Los Angeles Avenue is today. Lions, exactly. Some time later, the 1,200-hectare farm "Los Leones" was divided into lots, and thus it disappeared, crossed by the lines of the city. This quadrant corresponds to the one that is currently between Providencia, Lota, Ricardo Lyon streets and the aforementioned Los Leones, although other sources of the time indicate that it was even adjacent to Pedro de Valdivia avenue
Another interesting detail is that the presence of these statues in the hacienda was an emblem related to his family's surname, whose translation and heraldic shield were precisely alluding to the icon of the Lion. Its design, however, is not exclusive: it is based on the Parisian ornamental lion figures produced by the famous Val d'Osne foundry and created in the 19th century by sculptor Paul Edouard Delabrière under the direction of artist Pierre-Louis Rouillard.
