The Live Oak Manor rock arch, a landmark for Sierra Highway motorists for nine decades, was moved Friday, July 12, for the third time in history – only about 75 feet from its old location and still visible from the road.

The arch was built in 1926 by John E. Olmstead, an eccentric desert rat who created a cactus and sculptural rock garden as a tourist attraction on the Newhall side of the Newhall Pass. In 1930, when Sierra Highway (then known as Highway 6) was realigned, Olmstead moved it 50 feet to the west side of the road where most people alive today have always known it.
