The Schaefer House is a traditional Ranch-style residence, located on a cul-de-sac. It was designed by structural engineer John B. Ferguson for Fred Schaefer, who, as a carpenter, designed and constructed the detailing himself. The house has a low-pitched gabled roof, board and batten siding, and sea shells set into flagstone walls. The house is an excellent example of a traditional Ranch-style house, with its rambling, elongated plan. In just a few years’ time, the San Fernando Valley was transformed into a sprawling suburb of Los Angeles, and much of the new residential development was comprised of Ranch houses like this one.
