History

Built in 1931 by Dr. Edwin Janss, Sr. from designs by his wife Florence Janss, this house served as the Janss family's weekend retreat, the base of their Conejo Valley ranch founded in 1910, and the home of Edwin Janss, Jr. after 1943. The Janss family came to California in 1893 and became land developers, starting Monterey Park and the San Fernando Valley, donating the land on which UCLA was built, and planning and building Westwood in the late 1920s and the Conejo Valley in the 1950s and 1960s. Acquired by the city of Thousand Oaks in 1973, the house became the location of the Arts Council of the Conejo Valley in 1975.
