The house was purchased in the early 1970's by John and June Young. June Young had already demonstrated her gift for knowing what would attract attention (she was a founder of Santa Clause Lane), and promptly painted the beige Victorian house yellow with a bright orange roof. The house could not be missed; the community was up in arms. Nearly 35 years later, The Big Yellow House is indeed still a landmark and holds magical family memories for Santa Barbarans young and old. For many years, children's meals were priced 'by the pound' not the food, but the children. Those under 10 years old would be weighed on a large scale and their meals priced accordingly. ~ Rod Lathim is an established artist and theater producer in Santa Barbara California. He's done a magnificent job of capturing both the essense, history and spirit of the famous landmark in Summerland. ~ We strive to offer fast, courteous and professional service to all our patrons.
