The Malibou Lake Mountain Club is a private, secluded community located in the Santa Monica Mountains, northwest of Los Angeles and west of Malibu. Founded in 1922 by businessmen George Wilson and Bertram Lackey, the club attracted upper-middle-class Angelenos looking for a rustic escape from the bustling young city. Membership included use of the Clubhouse, a grand stone and redwood lodge designed by architectural firm Russell & Alpaugh of Los Angeles which burned down in 1936 and was replaced by a smaller lodge designed by the same firm. Members were also invited to various events hosted by the club, such as holiday dinners and dances, and were given free use of the lake for boating and fishing. "Licensee" members additionally were entitled to the use of a specific lot of land on which they could build their own cabin or dock.
