Hardison House StableWallace Libbey Hardison was the youngest of eight children, born in 1850 in Caribou,Maine. He followed his brother, James Henry, to work the oil fields of WesternPennsylvania, and befriended Milton and Lyman Stewart in 1877. After John D.Rockefeller took control of Western Pennsylvania's oil fields, the Hardisons andStewarts ventured into the unrealized California oil market. In December 1882Lyman shipped two drilling rigs to newly discovered oil fields in Ventura County and inApril 1883, arrived to arrange oil leases. Wallace joined Lyman in Santa Paula,creating the Hardison & Stewart Oil Company. By 1886, the company wasresponsible for 15% of all oil production in California. In 1890, they merged theirinterests with those of Thomas Bard and Paul Calonico to form the Union OilCompany, which eventually became Unocal.
Wallace Hardison’s wife Clara and children arrived in Santa Paula in July 1883. Amonth later, he purchased a ten acre parcel in Santa Paula Canyon from WashingtonRhoads at what is now 1226 Ojai Road. The Hardison home, completed in 1884,was designed and constructed by an unknown Pennsylvania architect and builder. TheItalianate two-story house with seven bedrooms and two baths - the first home tohave indoor plumbing in Santa Paula - was shaded with verandahs, and surrounded bylandscaped gardens. The balance of the farm was planted with groves of variouscitrus.
The stable, according to family lore, was completed in 1885 by Pennsylvania builderAndrew Burroughs, although no documents verify this attribution. The first floorhoused horses, carriages, wagons, tack and other equipment. The second floor alarge open hay loft with grain feed bins. The exterior siding is a mix of rustic ship lapsiding, vertical trim and corner boards. While there are expected Eastlake detailsincluding angled tongue and groove paneling under the double hung windows,paneled sliding doors hung on interior tracks, and the door to the stalls with itsincised panels and chamfered edges, there is an almost missed subtle playfulness ofthe detailing. Examining the alternating bands of round and maple leaf shingling, thepattern of the East (front) gable is different on the North and South (end) gables.The ventilated cupola echoes the playfulness with chevron gable boards facing downon the East, North and South sides, but the West (rear) side points up. Theshingling is not seen on the 1884 home.
In 1900, Wallace divorced and remarried leaving the farm to his first wife Clara andtheir children. He moved to South Pasadena, and continued citrus ranching in theSan Fernando Valley, and pursued additional business interests. On April 10,1909, the oilman, agricultural businessman, gold miner, and newspaper publisher waskilled when his auto was broadsided by a locomotive. Clara Hardison and thechildren's descendants continued to live on the property. Their youngest daughterHope married James Norris Procter and ownership passed down the family. OnDecember 5, 1977, Hardison House was designated Ventura County Landmark No.35. Hope Hardison Procter lived in the family home until her death in 1983, and herson Robert Procter until 2011. In May 2012, structural engineer Mark D. Bakerprepared a report for restoring the stable and home.
In 2013, the Hardison farm was purchased by real estate developer Williams Home,with plans to develop 53 houses. Community members like Amber Mikelson and TheSan Buenaventura Conservancy achieved a preservation agreement in 2017, toreduce the number of homes to be built and restoring the Hardison Home's exterior.Additionally, the stable, a 1910 residence and a 1920 garage will all be preservedin place within a heritage park easement in the new development.
