Chamber of Commerce

  • Calabasas, CA Chamber of Commerce. "Why is Calabasas ranked as one of the nation’s top ten places to live? Nestled in the oak-filled foothills of the Santa Monica Mountains, the upscale community with small town charm has a progressive economy, safe neighborhoods, blue ribbon schools and healthy lifestyle. In addition to its desirable location surrounded by scenic open space, Calabasas is conveniently located near employment opportunities and all of Southern California’s finest attractions. It is simply an ideal place to enjoy life.

    With its rolling hills and waterfalls, Calabasas attracted Hollywood artists in the late 1920’s and established the bohemian colony of Park Moderne. Calabasas continues to value beauty through its art in public places program. Custom architecture, attractive business offices, and stylish shopping centers, as well as outdoor art blend the city’s past, present and future into an exciting environment. The Calabasas Historical Society preserved a Zigzag Moderne fountain created by the 1920’s artists on a Native American footpath that can still be enjoyed in what are now called “the bird streets”.

    No one is completely sure how Calabasas got its name, but it became popular during the late ‘60’s when Jimmy Durante gave a television sign off to his wife, “Goodnight Mrs. Calabash, wherever you are,” as she was often here visiting friends in “the bird streets”. Many believe that the city’s unusual name stems from a Basque farmer’s pumpkin cart that overturned en route to Los Angeles, spilling seeds that became the region’s first official patch."

  • Leonis Adobe Museum and Plummer House. "The Leonis Adobe was built in stages. Exactly who built the original portion, and when it was built, is still a subject of research. At first, there appears to have been a simple adobe farm house with white-washed walls. This original portion of the house is believed to date back to 1844, and if this is so, it is almost certain that Leonis did not build it. In any event, about 1880 he extensively enlarged and remodeled the house into the gracious Monterey-style mansion you see today, and he and Espiritu moved into it and made it their home.

    A great deal of research, study, and skillful work has gone into faithfully restoring the Leonis Adobe to the way it is believed to have appeared after Leonis completed enlarging and remodeling it. But there are one or two exceptions. For instance, the present living room was originally two rooms, a parlor and living room, separated by a wall just to the right of the front door. The wall was removed around 1925, and has not been replaced in order to provide a large room for group meetings.

    Leonis, in enlarging and remodeling the house, sheathed the outside front of the house, and paneled the interior living room with wood. He walled in the rear and northeast side porches, both upstairs and downstairs, to add more rooms. He added the Victorian fretwork balcony along the front of the the house, and other enhancing details and features."
