Historical Data	The Spanish land grant that made up Rancho Malibu was split into three parcels in 1905 after the death of Frederick Hastings Rindge. In 1916 Rindge's daughter Rhoda and her husband Merritt Adamson Sr. established a dairy farm named Adohr (Rhoda spelled backward) located at 18000 Ventura Blvd. in Tarzana. The farm was famous for breeding Guernsey cattle. Land was slowly sold during the depression and in 1948 the remaining 500 acres were sold to developers when the dairy farm moved to Camarillo. The Camarillo farm was sold for the Westview Park subdivision in 1969. The statue of a milk maid, child, and Guernsey cow was designed by artist Finn Frolich. Reports have claimed anywhere from ten to thirty of these statues were produced to advertise the Adohr brand. However, existing documentation suggests there were three, located at Adohr processing plants in Tarzana, on La Cienega, and in Tulare. In 1998, the Tulare statue was restored.
Description	A life size statue of a little girl stopping a milkmaid who is posed by her grazing cow, serves as the sign to the Adohr Milk Farm. Around the pedestal is written "The largest Guernsey herd in the world" and "Guernsey certified milk." The logo includes a bass relief milk bottle poking through the oversize "O" of Adohr.
