Eugene Garnier's home on the grounds of Rancho Encino (now Los Encinos State Historic Park) built of limestone about 1872. Residence is commonly referred to as "The French House." The rancho was originally 4,460 acres in size, but through the years, it would slowly be taken apart, a piece at a time. In 1916, 1,170 acres of land were sold from the Rancho. This parcel was subdivided and became the city of Encino. In 1949 the last remaining parcel of land, containing the De La Osa Adobe, Garnier House and spring were purchased by the State of California, and the Los Encinos State Historic Park was created.
