Description
Photograph of adobe home of Miguel Leonis, Calabasas, 1915. The adobe, the first official Los Angeles City historical landmark, stands here overgrown by dry, thick vines under the veranda to the right. It stands two-stories tall, and sports wooden construction as well as brick. In the late 1960's a real estate developer almost succeeded in leveling the home and surrounding area in order to construct a shopping mall. Kay Beachy, a civic-minded local, launched the preservation campaign that rescued the house in 1965. The structure was then maintained by the Leonis Adobe Association.
