Dyar House Ruins

Highlight • Historical Site

The Dyar house was built in 1923, had two-stories, and measured 60' by 35′. There were six bedrooms upstairs and two full baths. The basement contained a wood burning furnace and the heat was pumped into each room through vents. An electric generating plant was built alongside the home as was a two-car garage.

After 10 years, the Dyar’s made a deal with the state of California to take over the ranch and open it to the public. From that time forward the state used the home as a small lodge for paying guests. After the 2003 Cedar Fire swept through this area though, all that remains today is a skeletal structure.
