Sneak Peek of the Oakridge Estate

14 Aug 2010 18:00:00 GMT

Saturday, August 14, 2010, 11am – 3pm

Don't miss this great chance to get a sneak peek and guided tour of the historic Oakridge Estate in Northridge before it opens to the public, on Saturday, Aug. 14. 45-minute guided tours will be offered between 11:00 and 3:00 pm.

In December 2009 the purchase of the historic-cultural landmark Oakridge Estate was completed, known in the community as "Oakie House." The English Tudor style house in Northridge was designed by noted architect Paul R. Williams for actress Barbara Stanwyck in 1937 and was most recently the home of actor Jack Oakie and his wife Victoria Horne at a time when many movie starts lived in the Valley.

In May, the first meeting of the newly formed Park Advisory Board (PAB) for the Oakridge Estate was held. The PAB is made up of community stakeholders who will make recommendations for the future uses of the property to the Department of Recreation and Parks.

Reservations are required and space is limited, so be sure to RSVP soon for your tour of this local historical treasure! For more information or to RSVP call (818) 756-8501.
