Celebrating 10 years of opening doors…
And the Oscar Goes To…
It was a tie! In nearly 100 years of Oscar history, there have only been seven ties for taking home a golden statuette and it happened in 2026 in the “Best Live Action Short” category.
One of the nominees, “Jane Austen’s Period Drama” was filmed at Sunny Gables Estate with Harrison Cade and Sara Camp each credited on a single card frame. Authenticity of our well-maintained historic details rang true as a “British Manor” in this film. Congratulations to everyone who made this a success!

A Roof Over Our Heads that was Made to Last
This photograph of Sunny Gables Estate appears in the May, 1931 edition of Architectural Digest. All of the home’s details remain intact, including the original roof, now 96 years old.
Charles Adams Gibbs was the landscape architect for Sunny Gables. Featured in 1928’s Architectural Digest for the W K Kellogg home in Pomona, and well known for the Historic Dater House in Montecito; our large scrolls of his designs, kept in the archives on-site, have hand written notes with owner R T Moore. Gibbs was best known for his use of native California plants and sense of directional light. This harmonized with Moore’s collection of 55,000 Mexican birds and use of Mayan symbolism to express time and space.
Not only is the roof still over our heads, many of the camellias in the photo will soon bloom; and, see the little sycamore tree halfway down the stone path? It continues to grow westward…
In the room where he slept…
Robert Thomas Moore
…would eventually pass away quietly on October 30, 1958.
Follow the light!
Some fifty feet below the weather vane marked “Swallows Take Flight” on the blueprint by Robert Ainsworth, is a triple-door Mosler Bank Vault manufactured in 1928. The vault was positioned facing exactly North and the entire estate was constructed around this central rotunda.
As the sun rises in the East and makes it way across the sky; each day of the year offers subtle color changes along the 100-foot long column of arches.
