Crowley House: 2522 Pleasant Way, Thousand Oaks, CA 91362
Mouthful Eatery: 2626 Thousand Oaks Blvd
The Crowley House is a county landmark in El Parque de la Paz "The Peace Park,” a five acre park dotted with oak trees was dedicated in 1990 by Thousand Oaks City Council. Amenities include a Jungleland (

Since Jungleland is no longer in existence, I think it would be acceptable to paint the elephant, camel, or lion statues in the park to represent it in our May exhibit.
VC LMK 109 Crowley House (aka Goebel House)
Built for newlyweds Frank and Mae Casey Crowley on the Newbury Ranch in 1910, the house earned the nickname "Mother of Thousand Oaks" because in the early 1920s it served as a real estate office for the first housing development in the Conejo Valley. Carloads of prospective buyers were brought from downtown Los Angeles, shown lots among huge oak trees, and given dinner in the Crowley House dining room before making the return trip. Later, Louis and Kathleen Goebel owned the house. The spacious, two-story white frame, five bedroom house still has its hardwood floors, mahogany beams, and volcanic rock fireplace. It is used as the Conejo Recreation and Parks District sports office.
VC LMK 63 Goebel's Lion Farm Site (aka Jungleland)
Louis Goebel established his farm in 1927 as a site where he could import, breed, and maintain exotic animals for rental to movie studios. His animals included the famous MGM lion. The popular tourist attraction Jungleland developed from the animal farm. The Civic Arts Plaza now stands on the site.
Corner of Conejo School Road and Thousand Oaks Boulevard, Thousand Oaks
