QUESTION: Wow...very fast answer...

I have a question about the museum.

Is it located in Los Angeles County??

Do they allow to take a picture?


ANSWER: It's in Ventura County, about 50 miles away.
Try the Banning House: www.banningmuseum.org/ or
The Colonial House: http://colonialhouse.us/

You will need to call these facilities to ask about taking photos, etc.   

Good Luck!

I think...banningmuseum does not have much greek design with the building..and colonial house does not get phone call and email.

Please let me know if you have more..

Thanks.

Answer
Moon,

Try visiting the El Campo Santo Cemetary in The City of Industry.  There is a Greek Temple on the property.

Also, you should just go to the Colonial House and see what you find, if you can.

Good Luck.
