About the Edison House.
The Edison house at Heritage Junction was once part of a group of cottages built in 1919 by the Southern California Edison Company to house employees when the Newhall substation opened. The house was moved west of Saugus in 1925 when the "new" substation was completed and five other homes were built of identical design. Assistant Edison Patrolman Raymond Starbard occupied it and was credited as being the first to spread the alarm of the 1928 St. Francis Dam disaster. The cottages were sold to The Newhall Land and Farming Company on January 17, 1972. The cottage was donated to the Santa Clarita Valley Historical Society and moved to Heritage Junction on January 18, 1989. The other houses were burned by the Los Angeles County Fire Department as a training exercise. Architecturally significant not only for its Swiss-Germanic Style, but also for being unmodified, this single-family residence has a shingled, gabled roof, clapboard siding, and hardwood floors.
