      What was there before the ranch? And before that? Where do you live, work, shop, what roads do you drive on, etc, and what used to be there before it was "completely wiped out and gone"? And before that? What we perceive, remember, or otherwise become aware of is just the blink of an eye in time. It's no more significant than anybody or anything that came before just because we become aware of it.

      How many folks remember the episode. When Oliver asked Liesa what was behind a door they had never noticed in the hallway? And they discovered their house had a full basement. Dug by Mr. Haneys father for his still operation they discovered down there. Then the staircase caved in.
      Trapped together, such a wonderful dialog of rediscovery of their love for one another thinking this was it, for most of the sequence. Eva Gabor, was so perfect for her roll in this. Their story of how they first meet each other during the war. And fell hopelessly in love.
      No one could find them. But it was Arnold, the Ziffels pig! That saved the day. Speaking clearly by acting out with charades in the general store alerting everyone and showing the way to a rescue. Lassie the pig!
      And poor Mr Kimball was still using a plunger in the kitchen sink drain trying to save them after hearing them talking from the drain pipe.
      Americana drama... At it's finest!! One of my favorite episodes. That house had a basement!! Hope I didn't spoil it for anyone. Green Acres we are there !!

    I used Historic Aerials and figured out the barn was located at 34.19310° N, 118.81475° W which puts it in the front yard of the house on the southeast corner of Bluebell Place and Fairmount.

    • @k.r.baylor8825
      @k.r.baylor8825 9 месяцев назад +9

      That would be 1610 Bluebell Place, Westlake Village, CA 91362. It's a $3.049 million house, built in 1983, 4 bd, 4.5 ba, 5,252 sq ft. And a pool. It's a nice place, too, all found on Zillow and not currently for sale. If you're the lucky owner, a family trust member of the late Mr. Buccola, expect a flood of QSL-like cards coming your way, seeking verification of something completely out of the blue.
      But from all of this readers can deduce that the barn was probably torn down in the early 1980s when the land developer was prepping the land for subdivision construction.

      I am a native of Thousand Oaks born in 1956. I grew up in "Old Town" Thousand Oaks. My Dad and I worked for American Hawaiian Land Company. I have dozens of photos and 8mm movies from the early days. I knew Ed Lawrence. Now for the pearl... My Uncle was the Ranch Foreman and overseer of the Albertson Ranch. He is in the barn photos. I played in that barn and have 1966 color photos. My Uncle and Cousin were both real cowboys and that was my Uncles cattle all of which were used by Hollywood for all the westerns. The big Scottish Highlanders seen on Gunsmoke and Dirty Sally were my Uncles bulls. The little building seen to the right of the barn was actually a mobile home my Uncle lived in temporarily until they relocated to Red Bluff, CA.
      The Barn and Stable area was called Glenmore Stables. Owned by my Uncle and his second wife. His name was Jack Braden and his wife Sandy (still alive) expanded their business in Oregon.
      Much of that area burned down in 1970 in what was one of the worst brush fire seasons in modern history.
      We watched them film so many movies it would take me pages to write it all down. Elvis' movie "Roustabout" was filmed on the Alberston Ranch right down the lane from the ranch house that my Uncle Jack lived in on the south side of the ranch. You can see his house in that large Westlake Village overlook by Ed Lawrence. My family has an original 16x20 of that same photo that was given to my Dad in the early 70's.
      Thousand Oaks was magical in the 50's-60's. The rapid growth beginning in 1966 destroyed an otherwise country Shangri-la. My Great Grandpa would be shocked by how much the area changed since he arrived here in 1904.

      ​@StanleyFoss That would be cool! There was also a 2-story white house that was in the opening credits too, I'm pretty sure. I remember it was in an episode when Oliver and Lisa were thinking of buying another place (early on before they renovated). Oh goodness, that made me think of the builders on that show - the brother and sister and she had a guy's name, Ralph, and she was sweet on Hank Kimball!

    Very interesting and time consuming investigation to locate this barn. I loved watching reruns of Green Acres as a child and to find the location of the barn was in Southern CA was unexpected. Side note that it is sad the Albertson Ranch with the buildings, cattle and cowboys is gone for another McMansion neighborhood. It was so open and beautiful.

    This video is so interesting to me. I grew up in a small Midwestern town in the 60's. We had every kind of business, schools and churches. There were 13 schools in the county. Now almost nothing is left. Only 2 schools in the county. Home prices have gone down every year. It's sad to see. I had a three bedroom home on 3.5 acres with lakefront. I sold it for $30k before it lost any more value. The "development" shown in your video is shocking !

      I live in an area that was all orange groves in the 1960s, and all single family homes by the 1980s. Now there is no land left for more single-family homes, but the City Council still wants more income, so they are putting up 4 and 6 story featureless "people storage" buildings with no parking, then turning all the surrounding roads into 1.5 lane wide paths with diagonal parking on both sides to make up for the lack of parking the developers would have had to pay for.
      They can get over 200 families in two acres now. With "local businesses" consisting of one smoke shop/weed parlor and a hair dressing place. But no place to buy food. What California is going to look like in 40 years is 400 square miles of the Chicago Projects.

    Stanley, before I forget, I'd like to mention another aspect of your work. As we all know the USA is a country very much plugged into our TV and movie culture, I think more so than any other nation. As such, film and television set locations have become somewhat hallowed grounds. I recall the fan outrage at the Warner Brothers Ranch in Burbank when the houses that were used on shows like Bewitched, I Dream of Jeannie, Gidget, The Partridge Family, The Waltons, and others were demolished to make room for office buildings. In addition to the entertainment value of videos such as yours, there is a historical/ontological value that each viewer walks away with everytime they watch one of your presentations. Please keep up the good work.

    • @StanleyFoss
      @StanleyFoss  8 месяцев назад +1

      Yes that was so upsetting when the Warner bros ranch was bulldozed. I wish I could have seen that. I got a few glimpses once when I went to see the show Friends filmed and they took us through a back entrance of the Warner Ranch. Now with AI video, was bulldozing that even worth it? How many jobs will be lost in the near future because of AI?? We’ll see. Thanks for the comment!

    @k.r.baylor8825 9 месяцев назад +2

    Great detective work! That land was almost unrecognizable from 58 years ago. It appears from county land records that the barn was probably torn down in the early 1980s (or even late 1970s), when the house lots were being prepared. The house on the barn site was built in 1983, meaning construction was in the 1981-82 era.
    From 2023 aerial photos, there are no large trees around the houses on Bluebell Place, meaning the three identifying trees around the barn were unfortunately cut down, but about 150 feet south on adjoining property back yards there is a very large tree bracketed by two pools. It could be a survivor of that time.
