Built sometime in the 1950s. My grandfather knew the owner, who recently passed away. In the environmental reform of the 1980s, USA petrochem was forced to shut down due to air quality issues with nearby Ojai. It has remained abandoned ever since.

Will be demolished as part of Ventura's Master Plan. Estimated to be around 2010. Brooks Institute of Photography will actually take over part of the site as their school's campus. **Demo has already started, but massive tanks, pipe works and the offices still stand.
