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 April 29, 1957 reads "In shade of deodars and oaks at McKinley Home for Boys in Sherman Oaks families meet to discuss fall-out, roentgens, deterioration and other topics familiar to their calling as radiological monitors for civil defense. Meeting was attended mainly by squads from the Valley."
