  • Most Angelenos do not know about Rancho Los Amigos in Downey and what it meant to the thousands of people that crossed through its doors. Throughout its history, Rancho was a safety net for the County's most vulnerable citizens, including those with medical, physical, and mental illnesses, the elderly, and those experiencing destitution.
    Unfortunately, the County of Los Angeles Board of Supervisors have voted to support a plan calling for the destruction of the Rancho Los Amigos Historic District. We firmly disagree with this approach of nearly wholesale demolition and loss of irreplaceable L.A. heritage.

    So since buildings are coming down now, I guess the movement didn’t help much. I guess they didn’t listen in saving more buildings. How sad. The auditorium should have been saved.

    Great video I used to explore every building in that place, did the demolition pass? I hope not the cats and raccoons and skunks need a place to live

      I just explored it yesterday. Besides the fire that just happened, the buildings are still there. The fire destroyed the maintenance building by the auditoriu.

      @Shane looking at the map of the facility. It looks like the employee area turned into a road
