Bradbury The city of Bradbury is named
after Lewis Leonard Bradbury. In 1892 Mr. Bradbury acquired 2,750 acres of the Rancho
Azusa de Duarte. The Rancho was a Mexican land grant awarded to Andres Duarte before
California became part of the United States. Lewis Bradbury built an elegant home,
surrounded by a notable garden that is now the site of the Royal Oaks Manor. Entry to the
Bradbury Estate was through impressive, wrought-iron gates located on Deodar Lane, or from
Oak Avenue, over the arched bridge above the historic Pacific Electric Railroad tracks.
Lewis Bradbury made his fortune in gold and silver mining primarily in Mexico, and is
famous for the construction of the Bradbury Building, a City of Los Angeles Historical
Landmark.
