Pederson House and Water Tower, Historic farmhouse and water tower in Thousand Oaks, California, United States

The Pederson House is a residence featuring American Craftsman architecture with a functional water tower at California Lutheran University. The structure sits at the intersection of Regent Avenue and Faculty Street and displays the handcrafted details common to homes of that era.

Norwegian immigrants Lars and Karn Pederson built this farmhouse in 1913 as part of early settlement in Conejo Valley. The structure was relocated about 500 feet and renovated in 1986 when the university needed space for new construction.

The house reflects the Norwegian settlement heritage that shaped early development in the valley. Its presence on campus reminds visitors of the immigrant communities who first built homes in this area.

The house is located on the university campus and visitors can view it while exploring the grounds. It sits at a clear intersection making it easy to find, and it is positioned near the Ahmanson Science Center for reference.

The water tower stayed in use until 1960, when indoor plumbing arrived; it was moved and renovated in 1986. A bronze statue of Lars Pederson was dedicated on April 18, 2015, beside the flagpoles near the Soiland Humanities Center, and Pederson Road nearby carries the family name.
