Biographical / Historical
Malibu Lakeside is a small residential community located in the Santa Monica Mountains, adjacent to Malibu Creek State Park. Los Angeles real estate developer H.L. Averil sold the first lots in 1924, two years after the foundation of nearby private community Malibou Lake Mountain Club. Many
early residents were middle class Angelenos, using their cabins as a weekend escape from the city. Every homeowner held a
stake in the Lakeside Mutual Water Company, which in turn helped fund the community center, which boasted a large clubhouse,
swimming pool, softball and tennis courts, and a playground.
The Anderson family lived in Malibu Lakeside from 1929 to 1976. Sisters Annette and Doris grew up in the community, and their
parents, Milton and Dorothy, were deeply involved in community events. Notably, Milton Anderson won the Lakeside Tennis Tournament for ten straight years until they eventually let him keep the memorial trophy. The Anderson
family often visited other attractions located in the Santa Monica Mountains in the 1940s, such as Lake Enchanto and the Seminole
Hot Springs.
Lake Enchanto was briefly owned by Arthur Edeson and Warren Shobert, members of the Malibou Lake Mountain Club, who thought to turn the area into a destination resort. Together with their partner,
lawyer Charles Hinman, they built a dance floor, canoe lake, and the largest swimming pool in the Western United States at the time, which could
fit over 3,000 swimmers. Lake Enchanto waned in popularity through the 1960s, eventually shutting down when Hinman went to
jail in 1969. In 1977, actor Peter Strauss purchased the land, fixed it up, and sold it to the Santa Monica Mountains Conservancy.
The area is now open to the public as the Peter Strauss Ranch, part of the Santa Monica Mountains State Park.
Seminole Hot Springs was founded by real estate magnet Lucky Baldwin in the early twentieth century, and was immensely popular through the 1920s and 30s. The resort featured a full-service spa,
a Roman-style indoor bath, mineral pools, swimming pool, dance hall, restaurant, and rental cabins. The water came from a
natural 116 degree mineral spring below the property. Mineral baths dwindled in popularity through the 1950s and 60s, until
the spa finally closed in 1967. A trailer park now occupies the space.
In November of 2018, the Woolsey Fire decimated large portions of the Santa Monica Mountains. Many homes in Malibu Lakeside,
Malibou Lake Mountain Club, and the Seminole Hot Springs trailer park were damaged or destroyed.

Physical Description: anderson00097.jpg, anderson00098.jpg, anderson00099.jpg
Scope and Contents
Malibu Lakeside welcome fountain - corner of Crags Drive and Paiute Drive. This is a single image detail from a Lakeside realty
brochure and is the only historic photo of the fountain known to exist. While the brochure is 1930's vintage, this image is
essentially confirmed to be the 1920's as multiple former Lakeside residents who grew up there starting in 1929 do not recall
ever seeing the fountain on. It apparently ran in the 1920's and was then turned off. The low stone wall that the women are
next to remains today, but has nearly disappeared under decades of road paving over old layers that has raised the road level.
The fountain remains today (2017) and efforts have been underway for years to turn the fountain back on, but the property
owner will not grant permission, so the neighborhood is trying to buy the fountain. Also seen in this photo are the clubhouse,
concession stand, tennis court and some cabins.

Lake Enchanto postcard 5
1944
Container Summary: Anderson00116.jpg, Anderson00117.jpg
Scope and Contents
Lake Enchanto pool, circa August 1944 (based upon postmark on the rear of this postcard). This postcard includes the best
known image of what appears to be an outdoor clothes check area at right. The fenced area at right could be where street clothes
were checked when people came for a swim. It is signed with "First Aid Station", but that's a large area for such a use and
there are hanging garment bags inside the fencing. There were no known rental lockers at the park.
This is the only one of the postcards in this series with a message or postmark on the backside. This was written by Annette
Anderson to her future husband, Pvt. Walter Andres during WWII. The message includes Annette's sister Doris and a mention
of Hank's Country Store where these postcards were bought.
