The McKinley Home for Boys was located at 13840 Riverside Drive, Sherman Oaks, formerly Van Nuys. Original property of McKinley Home for Boys lists a Van Nuys address. However, due to property rezoning issues the location of institution was changed to Sherman Oaks. The home moved to San Dimas, California in 1961. Photograph caption dated January 28, 1955 reads "George T. Swartzott, left, superintendent of McKinley Home for Boys in Van Nuys, examines volume from complete set of encyclopedia presented boys by Don Patterson, manager of Ralph's Grocery at 14049 Ventura Blvd., Sherman Oaks. Accepting gift are, from left, Harry Hepner, Maurice Mossiman and Bryan Bollinger of the home."
