At least what's left of it. This cool old dairy farm property on Van Ness Ave. in Torrance is on the market and way more than likely will be redeveloped. I drive by this almost every day and it will be sad to see it go but it was probably inevitable. According to the real estate listing, the property has been owned by the same family since the early 1900s.

The property is currently two blocks deep but who knows how much land it encompassed in earlier days. This aerial is from 1952. The white L-shaped structure is the refrigerated building on Van Ness. The Dominguez Channel cuts across the upper right.

Here it is just four years later in 1956 with a massive amount of development having popped up all around it.

1941 in the middle of nowhere. At this time the Dominguez Channel was more of a meandering stream just out of frame here.
