its very good book though the description of the Woodbury House on 2606 Madison in Altadena is hardly an "old ranch house" the House was built in 1882 and it is a National Historic landmark due to its architectural significance being built by Harry Ridgeway then in 1910 having a massive American Gothic Ballroom added on by Frederick Roehrig. The House was lived in by Captain Woodbury (the guy who grew & made Xmas Tree Lane) Also the house was lived in by Hampton Story (the guy who built Hotel Del Coronado) The Ballroom in the house looks just like the ballroom in the Hotel Del Coronado...hardly an old ranch house...
