Murphy's Ranch Part 2

The Machine Shed

 Continue north up the road to a collapsed steel structure that served as a machine shed and garage. 


This is the last major building from the ranch. 
The Stephens had commissioned famed African-American architect Paul Williams (who designed the homestead now in ruins in Solstice Canyon) to build a four-story mansion within the canyon, but those plans were never executed.

Elements of the bizarre retreat that were built have been left to decay by the Los Angeles Department of Parks and Recreation.
