2263 S Harvard Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90018
In 1904, a house was built in the West Adams neighborhood of Los Angeles for Frederick H. Rindge and his wife, Rhoda May Knight Rindge. Architects Frederick Roehrig and E.C. Shipley designed the home in a Victorian style that combined Renaissance Revival and Romanesque Revival elements. The house became known by Frederick's name, but the family's history also extended to the land that became present-day Malibu. In 1892, Frederick had purchased the 13,300-acre Spanish land grant Rancho Topanga Malibu Sequit, also known as Malibu Rancho. He later expanded the property to 17,000 acres as the Rindge Ranch. After his death, Rhoda May ran the ranch, its oil derrick, and its railroad. She also founded the Rindge Dam, Malibu Potteries, and what became Serra Retreat. Their West Adams house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986.
