"he Murphy Ranch is a ranch built in Rustic Canyon, Los Angeles in the 1930s by Winona and Norman Stephens,[1][2] who were sympathizers of the anti-semitic, white supremacist Silver Legion of America.[3] The owner of record in 1933 was Jessie M. Murphy.[2] Designed as a base for Nazi activities in the U.S.,[4] it was intended to be capable of being self-sustaining for long periods. The compound had a water storage tank, a fuel tank, a bomb shelter, and various outbuildings and bunkers. The estate's main gate was designed by Paul Williams, a well-known African-American architect in the Southern California area.
On Monday, December 8, 1941, the day after the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, local police occupied the compound and detained members of the 50-strong caretaker force.[5]
As of 1990, it was abandoned and in a state of disrepair, and covered in graffiti.[2] The site is currently owned by the city of Los Angeles. In early 2016, many of the ranch buildings were demolished, as they were deemed unsafe. A few buildings remain."

Period revivals can be tricky feats to pull off successfully. For the most part the roof pitches, design, proportion, and materials used in this Shingle Style Revival by Thomas Callaway works well. The garage however, a modern-day necessity, is intrusive to the composition. It takes the place of a larger and welcoming front porch, which would have been more aesthetic and true to the style. The right side of the house is far more pleasing than the blocky left. The woodwork, by Millworks by Design, appears exceptional. Overall though it's a nice addition to a neighborhood of 1920's and 30's period revivals.

At first glance this house blends into the neighborhood as just another mid-century tract house, unimportant and uninspired. Given that it was designed and built in 1946 by J R Davidson gives it a slightly different perspective. By today's standards it may not be all that interesting, but I'm sure then it was more unusual. . . maybe.

Tomorrow is Saint Patrick's Day and we all need some green. This building, at the edge between the cities of Santa Monica (high on the terrace to the right) and Los Angeles (down in the canyon), always attracted my attention (well, green IS my favorite color). I used to pass by it, either in a car or by bike (but the bike path is actually closer to the beach than to the Pacific Coast Highway - which is the road visible in the foreground), so I never actually got a chance to take a picture. The other day I have been along PCH to take pictures of the Santa Monica cliffs, and I walked all the way from the pier to the canyon (about 4 miles, or 6.4 km round trip). What better chance to take a picture of this old glorious Patrick's Roadhouse?

There are other structures from the original Nazi compound, but they are not in good shape.
