Adobe Sites - Calabasas

Mott Adobe
Mott Road south of Chaparral Trail, Malibu Creek State Park. Don't know much about this place. It is an adobe ruin. There is a burned out foundation, fireplace, and chimney. There may be some remnants of adobe walls. There was some simulated bullet holes in the adobe walls when it was used as a movie set. It is about a mile southwest of the park's main entrance at Las Virgenes Canyon Road south of Mulholland Highway. It is about a mile southeast of the visitor center. Hiking trails are the only way to access this site.

Lopez Station  Est. 1861
Current site of the Upper Van Norman Reservoir, San Fernando Valley. Built by Geronimo Lopez. Geronimo and Catalina were married in 1851. On 40 acres they purchased from a Mission Indian, they built the Lopez Station on the direct route of the Butterfield Stage Line between Los Angeles and San Francisco. It ran between 1861 and 1874. They established the first English speaking school across from the Lopez Station, hiring an English teacher, who lived with the family and taught the Lopez children, and those of the Indian workers. They opened the first post office in the Valley in 1869 and ran a general store from 1861 to 1883.

Rancho El Escorpion Adobes  Est. 1870s
Southwest corner of Bell Canyon and Valley Circle Boulevard, West Hills. The adobe house of Rancho El Escorpion lasted until the late 1940s. Miguel Leonis built an adobe barn here in the 1870s. It stood until the 1960s. Photo of the barn on Page 92 of Casas and Courtyards. There was another adobe house nearby. The two adobe houses were west of the barn. They may have been 4 altogether in this area. They sat in the shadow of nearby Castle Peak. Charles A. Bell (1863-1917) a lawyer and the son of Major Horace Bell (1830-1918) lived here in later years. Bell Canyon is named for him. Horace Bell lived here for about a year as well. The adobes were just outside the Rancho El Escorpion northwest boundaries. They were on public land. John P. Harrington describes these adobe building in some detail in 1915. Several photos of these structures can be found in the Security Pacific Bank Collection, Los Angeles Public Library or at the Leonis Adobe. There are mentioned and photos are shown in several books about the area.
