Channel Islands National Park
National Park Service
Ventura, California

Comprised of five in a chain of eight southern California islands near Los Angeles, Channel Islands National Park consists of 249,354 acres, and includes the islands of San Miguel, Santa Rosa, Santa Cruz, Anacapa, and Santa Barbara. President Franklin D. Roosevelt established the Channel Island National Monument in 1938. In 1980 the monument’s status was changed to Channel Islands National Park.

ARG prepared Historic Structure Reports (HSRs) for the nineteenth century, vernacular Gothic-revival Vail & Vickers Ranch House located on Santa Rosa Island, and the 1880s stone and low-fired brick Smugglers and Scorpion Ranch Houses, both located on Santa Cruz Island. Upon completion of the HSRs, ARG prepared construction documents for rehabilitation of the ranch houses.
