The
Garnier Brothers made a lot of improvements to Rancho Los
Encinos. Among these was ringing the pond with stone and installing
this flood control gate.
The pond
is fed by the artesian well, and used to drain into a stream
that drained into the Los Angeles River. It now drains into
the flood control system.
The initial
"G" and the date "1872" are visible on
the gate.
