Significance: Building 5, the main ranch house and its pump house / laundry room building, comprise one of the nine resources of the Harry Carey Ranch Historic District. Harry and Olive Carey, who were members of the early motion picture industry in Southern California, and specifically the Santa Clarita Valley, constructed various ranch buildings the property from the late 1910s through the 1930s. The Careys lived on the ranch at various times during more than twenty years of Harry Carey's professional life. The main house and other smaller adobe structures represent a distinctive and excellent vernacular example of Spanish Colonial Revival style. It is unique in its use of architectural details, such as built-in cabinetry and exposed telephone pole ceiling beams.
