In 1965 when plans were made to demolish the building, the San Fernando Valley Historical Society started a campaign to save it. The Los Angeles City Department of Recreation and Parks purchased it, and the Historical Society manages the building today. Even though it was damaged in the earthquakes of 1971 and 1994, the beautiful adobe today is the home of the Mark Harrington Library. It is located at 10940 Sepulveda Blvd. It is also the headquarters of the San Fernando Valley Historical Society.
