Shadow Ranch, Historic ranch house in West Hills, California.
The ranch house features adobe walls and redwood lumber construction, with tall eucalyptus trees surrounding the main building at 22633 Vanowen Street.
Built between 1869 and 1872, the property began as part of a 9,000-acre wheat farm owned by the San Fernando Homestead Association under Isaac Lankershim.
Screenwriter Florence Ryerson worked on The Wizard of Oz screenplay while residing at the ranch during the 1930s, contributing to Hollywood's golden age.
The recreation center operates Monday through Friday from 9:00 am to 6:00 pm, offering sports facilities, educational programs, and community activities.
The ranch received its name from Florence Ryerson due to the extensive shade cast by Australian Blue Gum eucalyptus trees planted by Albert Workman.
