It consists primarily of modest single family residences in the Craftsman style, constructed during the 1910s and 1920s. Infill development includes a few single family residences constructed in the 1930s through 1950s, and a number of two to three-story multifamily residential buildings constructed in the 1960s. The multifamily buildings are visually prominent within the neighborhood and out of scale with the smaller single family residences. The Craftsman cottages that do remain in the neighborhood have been altered over time, most commonly with changes to the exterior cladding, and the replacement and resizing of windows and doors. These alterations have diminished the integrity of the individual resources such that they no longer reflect their historic identity as 1910s- 1920s Craftsman bungalows. As a result of cumulative changes to the neighborhood, including diminished integrity of the individual buildings and the residential blocks as a whole, it no longer reflects its historic identity as a streetcar suburb. Small-scale residential properties like those found in the Gardena Avenue Neighborhood are extremely ubiquitous in Southern California, particularly those constructed during the 1920s and after World War II. Economic prosperity, population increases, and building booms during these two periods prompted high levels of construction activity, resulting in thousands of similar resources throughout the region. Many single-family homes and duplexes were built in large quantities by tract developers using simplified designs inspired by the era’s most popular architectural styles. The homogenous nature and sheer volume of these residences makes it unlikely that any single example would rise to the level of individual significance. The history of these resources is better understood as a representation of wider development patterns in the twentieth century; as such, they are better evaluated as a group. However, as discussed above, the Gardena Avenue Neighborhood as a whole has been significantly altered over time and no longer retains sufficient integrity to reflect its history as a streetcar suburb. This group of properties has no demonstrable potential for historic significance within the residential context, for a significant historical association, or as an excellent example of an architectural style or property type. Furthermore, it has been substantially altered from its historic appearance. Building History: When the first houses on Gardena Avenue were built, they were not in Glendale. They were instead in the center of a town called Tropico, which existed from 1911 to 1918. Going back further, in 1868, 671 acres of what had started as the 36,000-acre Rancho San Rafael were sold to W.C.B. Richardson. He Appendix F2: Streamlined Documentation (Group) Gardena Avenue Neighborhood Cover Sheet named this land straddling the Los Angeles River Santa Eulalia Ranch, and it was eventually known for its strawberries, dubbed “Tropico Beauties.”1 Development began slowly in 1873, when Richardson gave the Southern Pacific Railroad 16 acres for a train depot in the present site of the Glendale Transportation Center, just three blocks from the future site of Gardena Avenue.2 In 1887 the depot was named Tropico. Later the main east-west road (now Los Feliz Boulevard) was named Tropico Avenue. In addition to leasing out land to Japanese strawberry farmers and making the depot a major shipping center for regional produce,3 Richardson brought in another major industry in 1900. Along with prominent partners like Griffith J. Griffith, he opened a large tile factory at what is now 2901 Los Feliz Boulevard, one mile from Gardena Avenue. The first of its kind west of the Mississippi, Tropico Art Tile Works employed over 800 employees, a third of them women, and 100 artisans from the east. By 1909 the factory was producing 30,000 enamel bricks per day.4 Around that time, Richardson provided a right-of-way to L.C. Brand and Henry Huntington for their Interurban Pacific Electric Railway connecting Los Angeles and Glendale.5 The line opened in 1904, running along what is now Glendale Boulevard. During this same period Richardson moved away from farming and subdivided the ranch. In 1902, the appropriately named 40-acre Richardson Tract was subdivided, followed by the Atwater Tract across the railroad tracks.6 The Richardson tract was advertised as “adjoining the Los Angeles city limits,” so, “city taxes are avoided.” It was also “properly restricted.”7 A further subdivision, the Santa Eulalia Tract, encompassing the railroad depot and the future Gardena Avenue, followed in 1910, the streets being laid out in 1912. The next 10 years would see a flurry of construction as Gardena Avenue and the streets around it filled up with single-family residences. Though newly incorporated as a municipality, Tropico was already feeling the pull of annexation. The improvements necessary for a new community would be easier as part of a city, so the southern portion of Tropico (now Atwater Village) joined Los Angeles in 1910, while the northern portion held out until 1918, when it joined its neighbor to the north, Glendale.8 Today, little exists from the days of Tropico. The oldest buildings in its business district, which was centered at San Fernando Road and Central Avenue, date from the 1920s. Many of the Tropico-era houses in the Santa Eulalia tract have been replaced as well. Even on Gardena Avenue between Topock 1 Nathan Masters, “The Lost City of Tropico, California,” KCET, June 16, 2004, accessed August 8, 2016 https://www.kcet.org/lost-la/the-lost-city-of-tropico-california. 2 Carr, Nancy, Sandra Caravella, Luis Lopez, and Ann Lawson.

Topock Street itself is a later addition, having replaced two lots as it connected Gardena and Vassar Avenues after Gardena Avenue was cut off from Glendale Boulevard (likely as a result of the grade separation of the Glendale Boulevard and the SPRR right-of-way in 1960). With the former Tropico depot having been rebuilt in 1923 and the tile factory long gone, the last major remnant of Tropico is Forest Lawn Cemetery four blocks away, which opened in 1906.

  • 4100 Haverford Ave, West Philadelphia Passenger Railway Company Carhouse
    COMMENT ON NATIONAL REGISTER NOMINATION ADDRESS: 4100 Haverford Ave, West Philadelphia Passenger Railway Company Carhouse OVERVIEW: The Pennsylvania Historical & Museum Commission (PHMC) has requested comments from the Philadelphia Historical Commission on the National Register nomination of 4100 Haverford Avenue located in the Haverford North neighborhood of West Philadelphia and historically known as the West Philadelphia Passenger Railway Company Carhouse. PHMC is charged with implementing federal historic preservation regulations in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, including overseeing the National Register of Historic Places in the state. PHMC reviews all such nominations before forwarding them to the National Park Service for action. As part of the process, PHMC must solicit comments on every National Register nomination from the appropriate local government. The Philadelphia Historical Commission speaks on behalf of the City of Philadelphia in historic preservation matters including the review of National Register nominations. Under federal regulation, the local government not only must provide comments, but must also provide a forum for public comment on nominations. Such a forum is provided during the Philadelphia Historical Commission’s meetings. According to the nomination, the West Philadelphia Passenger Railway Company Carhouse is significant under Criterion A in the Area of Transportation. Following the annexation of 130 square miles into the City of Philadelphia in 1854, growth of areas outside of the city’s original boundaries was largely due to the streetcar industry. The West Philadelphia Passenger Railway Company (WPPRC) was established in 1858 following the completion of a rail line along Market Street that ran from 3rd Street in Center City to 41st Street in West Philadelphia.
