Your volley with Mr. Sonne is equally educational. Let's hope for the best for this architectural gem to be re-vitalized (and de-bee-d) soon! Please also report on the Eichler tract. It seems as though much more attention would be paid to these properties if they weren't in the *818* area code! Cheers, MAS Thank you for the view from behind those gates I pass almost every day.

I hope all is well. The Marilyn Manson property was never owned or occupied by Barbara Stanwyck. After selling what is now the Oakie Estate (the Trimark Estate) she moved South and never again resided in the North Valley. We have a couple of lectures scheduled in the fall (both pertain to comedy in film), and I am happy to still offer you an invitation to one or both. Let me know. Thank you.

I agree that Chatsworth and Northridge have a very rich and often overlooked history. This video was supposed to be a segment in a grander more ambitious video about the unique architecture of the Northwest Valley. Specifically, Granada Hills (the Eichler Tract), Northridge, Chatsworth and North Hills. I got a lot of great stuff but felt like the video would be a bit over long for the internet. Soon I hope to release a sort of Out-take Reel from this video as well as including the material mentioned above. I wouldn't hold your breath as this site has clearly been on the back burner for awhile but expect more great footage from the Oakridge Estate in the near future. Also that is really interesting information of the other Stanwyck (you spelled it right) property and if you can divulge some more information in regards to the address and such I promise not to break in haha. Thanks for you sentiments and glad I could give you a tour! Look for more to come. - Phil Thank you very much Marissa.
