Frank Bond
Frank Bond (1863–1945) was a Canadian emigrant. He became an American businessman and entrepreneur in New Mexico.
==Early years==
As a young man Bond left Canada in hopes of finding work in the United States. His brother George had left Canada a few years before, Frank followed his brother to Pueblo, Colorado in 1881. It is there where he met Anna Caffal, his future wife. His brother owned a large wool processing plant in Pueblo, Frank however, painted buildings in the area so he could earn money. In 1883, the Bond brothers sold their wool business and moved to Northern New Mexico where they settled in a small and newly established railroad town called Española.〔http://books.google.com/books?id=xMV1Z-9_iFEC&pg=PA128&lpg=PA128&dq=frank+bond+espanola&source=bl&ots=Tx6OlAhEiN&sig=J2U7LWmdrBJ1aZFrqmnBZ-oe5-Q&hl=en&sa=X&ei=6RPjUfbgLuG8jAKP64CgCw&ved=0CHYQ6AEwCTgK#v=onepage&q=frank%20bond%20espanola&f=false〕
When arriving in Española the brothers quickly found their new home as they broke into the wool business once again. With their success in the business, Frank and George decided to acquire extensive tracts of land, including the portions of the Valles Caldera (Baca Location) in the Jemez Mountains.〔http://www.newmexicohistory.org/filedetails.php?fileID=1633〕 Using this land to raise thousands of sheep, he quickly took advantage of the lucrative wool market. His businesses expanded to include wool storage and marketing ventures.〔http://rmoa.unm.edu/docviewer.php?docId=nmu1pict000-133.xml〕 The two brothers profits were so large, they bought-out the Scott & Whitehead mercantile in Española, and renamed it ''G.W. Bond & Brother Co.'', it was the largest in the region and carried the absolute most updated goods, Frank was just 21 years old at the time.〔http://vallescaldera.com/history〕 The store brought economic growth and prominence to Española, which at the time only had 150 inhabitants, later growing to 3,500, due to the Bond Interests.〔https://archive.org/stream/newmexicohistori37univrich/newmexicohistori37univrich_djvu.txt〕
On August 15, 1887 he officially married Anna. Frank immediately began work on a two bedroom territorial Spanish adobe home that was built atop a hill in the downtown Española area. Soon after the couple decided to have three children: Maude, Amay, and Frank Jr. To make room for their children, Frank expanded the house in 1910, making it five times the original size and gave it a new image, styling the home after the Neoclassical architecture. At the time Frank Bond's house was considered one of the largest in Northern New Mexico. The house is considered a mansion, it contains over 12 decorous rooms, three elegant fireplaces, and featured a sunroom. Frank built a small park nearby for his children.〔http://books.google.com/books?id=SSXRGB21WH4C&pg=PA23&lpg=PA23&dq=Frank+Bond+Espanola&source=bl&ots=inNiEhHafC&sig=37OvTC5TpmWzIE7iwzJkwy2bVWs&hl=en&sa=X&ei=dFbjUb-zAYPHiwK3loDoDQ&ved=0CDcQ6AEwAQ#v=onepage&q=Frank%20Bond%20Espanola&f=false〕
