NeighbourhoodDowntown / The Arcade
Glass magnate Edward Drummond Libbey financed architects Frank Mead and Richard Requa's 1916-17 Spanish Colonial Revival redesign of Nordhoff's Main Street into the Mission-style Arcade, pergola, and post office bell tower that still anchor Ojai Avenue; the town renamed itself Ojai the following spring.
NeighbourhoodThe Arbolada
Libbey bought 360 wooded acres north of downtown in 1922, cleared the underbrush by hand to save the largest oaks, and laid out winding, stone-curbed streets for half-acre-plus lots; the oak-canopied enclave still carries the name Arbolada, Spanish for "woodland.".
