    It brings back great memories when I was growing up. When Chun and Ida Hargitt would go on vacation to Escondido me and my brother and Grandpa,( who was the caretaker of that property) what spend the night in that old house. Came back again December 21st for Christmas tour at night. The portable lighting was very poor, didn't feel a lot of holiday cheer from the staff working. There was a gentleman in a wheelchair who couldn't get in the gate because there's no wheelchair accessibility ramps. I felt bad for the guy so I said I'll the gate with him and we had great conversation and told old stories. Come on Norwalk all that money spent and no wheelchair ramp through the back gate! Please try to work on it thanks

    Probably one of the best and least visited in all of Los Angeles County, originally built in 1891 for the D.D. Johnston family. It's currently being, "restored" but looks brand-new, the city has definitely been putting resources into the house over the past five years and it shows.

    Fun tour of this historic home in Norwalk. Refreshments were available and Christmas ornaments were a good souvenir to take home after the tour

    Here's a real piece of Norwalk history. Nice guided tour by young folks that know only a limited amount about the place and it's history. Still, you walk away knowing more than when you came in. Definitely recommend checking out.

    I am a none drugs addicted and none cosmetic addicted. And my sense of smell is excellent. Nothing can get past me without me knowing about it.
