Tarzana and Beyond

Tarzana circa 1922

* The largest building near the centre is the main house which later became the
    clubhouse for the El Caballero Country Club in 1925 (it was demolished about 10 years later)
* Along a "7 o'clock" line from the house are a
    swimming pool,
    ballroom with living quarters,
    three car garage and
    two-car garage with living quarters.
* Along a "4 o'clock" line are:
    the chicken coop and pen,
    stables and corrals for the family riding horses,
    dairy barn and corral
    the area that became the golf course for the El Caballero Country Club.

See Tarzana 1921 for a full description

* In the upper left corner of the small scale photo is the location of the present
    ERB, Inc. office building built in 1927 on
    Ventura Boulevard which runs across the top of the photo.
* The complex at the top of the small scale photo is the Adohr Dairy -
    home of the world's largest pure-bred Guernsey herd (later moved to Camarillo)
* The trees encircling the house on the hill are rare specimens imported from all over the world
by the original owner, General Harrison Gray Otis. Most were bulldozed in October 1999 to make room for     a housing development. The trees around the foundation of the main house still remain.
