Ravendale Station, Ravendale, California

Ravendale Station, 1961

Back in July I did a request post for information about the Ravendale Bar and Restaurant. Armour Edwards built a service station in 1925. Some time after the repeal of Prohibition in 1933, a bar and restaurant was added. Over the years a motel was constructed across the highway.

The Ravendale Garage., circa 1930

This enterprise was a favorite with locals and travelers alike. It 1955 it was named Ravendale Station. The business was a limited  partnership between Leo and Martha Burdick and Paul Langslet.

The landmark bar/restaurant burned down in the fall of 1983, either in October or November. The fire was of suspicious origin and one person recalled that when the fire was discovered it was burning at two separate locations. When more information about the history of the establishment becomes available an update will appear.
