  • West Adams Matters
    WAHA Number 241 West Adams Heritage Association June 2007 West Adams Matters A Landmark Victorian Cottage Needs New Home by Laura Meyers The little 1890 Queen Anne cottage on Washington Boulevard is battered and beaten up, but not bowed. And now the Henry Obee Cottage, boarded up for more than a year, has passed one hurdle in the effort to save this little piece of West Adams history. In May, eight months after Anna Marie Brooks took the initiative and nominated the property for landmark status, the Los Angeles Cultural Heritage Commission voted to declare the Henry Obee Cottage ,^y^ > f , a Cultural-Historic Monument (HCM). But that vote came with a caveat: the Victorian cottage I has lost its original context and should be moved to a more compatible site, near residences of similar character. Brooks, WAHA, and several other preservation activists, including Ben Davis and Mitzi Mogul, played a seminal role in having this home's historic status recognized and made official. Indeed, the City's staff had recommended against an HCM determination, saying that the cottage wasn't "distinguished" enough. But we rallied to the cause, attending the May hearing and arguing, in part, that in fact vernacular cottages are as much a fabric of Los Angeles history - telling the story of Southern California's development from pueblo to cosmopolitan metropolis — as are mansions designed by famous architects. Located at 1408 West Washington Blvd. near the corner of New England Street (between Henry Obee Cottage's Hoover and Vermont), the Obee Cottage sits on a lot that is slated for the development of new nortli gable detail (continued on page 10) WAHA's Star Spangled 4th of July Wednesday, July 4,1 - 4 p.m.

This year, we invite you to join us in a community whose homes have, one by one, been celebrating their 100th birthdays- and 100 holiday seasons. With a nod to that milestone, we will explore a variety of holiday traditions that have warmed West Adams households over the past century. The West Acres Tract, which runs from Adams Boulevard to 23rd Street and Normandie Avenue to Rayrnond Avenue, is a part of the larger West Adams-Normandie Historic Preservation Overlay Zone (HPOZ), and is also known as the "ANNA" neighborhood. Its period of development is from the early 1890s until about 1911. Prior to the latter part of the 19th century this area was primarily agricultural. With the coming of the horse-drawn streetcars from downtown Los Angeles in the IsiSOs, much of the land was subdivided for residential and commercial use. In 1896 the community • was annexed to the City of"Los Angeles, part of the South and Western Addition. Eventually the streetcar routes had been taken over by the Los Angeles Transit, and (continued on page 6) WAHA Wins Preservation Award WAHA has won a 2007 Governor's Historic Preservation Award for its popular Evening'Strolls, begun . three years ago to encourage West Adams residents to meet neighbors and learn about each area's cultural and architectural heritage.
