The Heartwarming Story of a Dolphin Trapped in a Net - Generative A.I.Creator: Happy Explorer

Until World War II, Hayvenhurst Avenue in Encino ended at what is now Lanai Road. The estate of developer William Hay, called Hayvenhurst, was located at 4400 Hayvenhurst, now the intersection of Hayvenhurst and Lanai. A dirt road that led into a canyon filled with oak trees and chaparral. At the end of the dirt road, at 4001 Hayvenhurst Avenue, near what is now the intersection of Hayvenhurst and Escalon, was the location of the Encino Country Club, that had been built in the early 1920s. When it went bankrupt in the early 1930s, it was converted into a military academy known as Raenford Academy or the Raenford School for Boys. After WWII broke out, many of Raenford's teachers and administrators were drafted or entered voluntarily into the war and the school closed in the early 1940s.

The property remained for many years, until 1952, when, according to the Valley Green Sheet dated March 3, 1952:

"Burco Inc., owner of 610 acres acquired in that vicinity for development of residential lots, has decided that, having come into possession of the building with the acreage, the only practical thing to do is demolish the reinforced concrete rendezvous of delinquent juveniles in order to keep peace with residents of Encino. Featured in a recent pictorial magazine as the Valley's 'haunted house,' the abandoned country club facility, built some 30 years ago, has become a place of evil repute in late years." Thus, the beginnings of what is now quintessential "Valley," and "postwar suburbia in Los Angeles" was established and the character of the area forever altered.”
