🏡 Oakridge Estate | LA’s Forgotten Hollywood Relic 🎬✨​​

Tucked in ​​Northridge​​, ​​Oakridge Estate​​ is no polished museum—it’s a time-warped ghost of 1930s Hollywood glam, where Barbara Stanwyck once roller-skated on her birthday tennis court (yes, really 🎾⛸️). ​​🌟 Star-Studded Past:​​ ​​1937​​: Built as Stanwyck’s Irish cottage (6,000 sq ft of dreamy solitude). ​​1941​​: Sold to comedian Jack Oakie, who wallpapered over her ivory walls with circus-tent flair 🎪. ​​Today​​: A crumbling time capsule—stripped of furniture, faded but fierce. ​​💔 Raw & Real:​​ No velvet ropes: Just peeling wallpaper, empty fireplaces, and whispers of parties past 🕯️. Theft scars: 2000s looters stole everything but the bones (angry emoji 😤). Not a “tour”: It’s a poem in ruins—imagine the rest. ​​📅 Visiting Tips:​​ ​​$15 tours​​ (75 mins, book ahead—open sporadically 🗓️). ​​Stand here​​: Stanwyck’s view of the San Fernando Valley (now suburbia 🌆). 📍 ​​Oakridge Estate​​ 18650 Devonshire St, Northridge #AbandonedLA #HollywoodHistory #TimeCapsule #Stanwyck #Northridge #DarkTourism
