Harry Carey Ranch House
At Tesoro del Valle in San Francisquito Canyon
Aug. 15, 2001: The U-shaped Harry Carey Ranch House was built by actors Harry and Olive Carey on their San Francisquito Canyon ranch in 1932 when their original wood-frame house burned down. They occupied the adobe home from 1933 until 1944, when they sold the property. It changed hands twice before it was acquired by Bernard "Barney" and Francis Clougherty, owners of the Farmer John line of meat products.The ranch house is the centerpiece of the Harry Carey Historic District and is being preserved by the developers of the Tesoro del Valle housing project. Plans call for it to be operated as a museum by the Santa Clarita Valley Historical Society.
