  • Sylmar Report Historic Districts, Planning Districts and Multi-Property Resources – 08/05/15
    Sylmar Report Historic Districts, Planning Districts and Multi-Property Resources – 08/05/15 Name: Barry J. Nidorf Juvenile Hall Description: Located at 16350 Filbert St. The Juvenile Detention Center occupies a large irregularly shaped parcel containing a series of attached one-story brick buildings lining the perimeter of the site oriented onto central lawns. Two 2-story triangular shaped buildings occupy the center of the site. Other features include internal walkways, outdoor basketball courts, a pool, and other outbuildings and facilities. The campus is surrounded by concrete block wall with razor wire. The property is not fully visible from the public right-of-way. Significance: Rare example of a 1960s juvenile detention center in Sylmar. This facility was originally established as the Los Angeles County Juvenile Hall in 1965. In 1978, the site underwent a series of earthquake repairs and an expansion; the one-story Sylmar Hall, encircled by a red brick wall was constructed at this time with enough room for 393 youths ranging in age from 10 to 17. Additional buildings were added to the site between 1993 and 1997. In 1998, the facility was renamed after retired Chief Probation Officer Barry J. Nidorf. It is the largest juvenile detention center in the nation. The property is not fully visible from the public right-of-way. Also, more research is needed into the development of detention centers in Los Angeles in order to determine this property's significance. Therefore, the evaluation could not be completed.
