Briefly describe the present physical description of the site or structure and describe any major alterations from its original condition: This two-story Eastlake/Queen Anne house has the quaintness of proportions of a doll's house. It is two stories, beneath a steeply pyramidal and gabled roof. Turned stickwork outlines the gables in a semicircular design. A pedimented second story window extends up into the diamond shingled face of the front (east) gable. Pendants and brackets overhang the segmented bay below the gable. An L-shaped porch fits into the speace created by the projection of the bay. Turned columns, an unusual, wave- patterned sawn balustrade, arched brackets, and a turned and sawn frieze detail the porch. The typical two entries, the front paneled door with an arched window and a secondary door on the side (north) open onto the porch. Above the pent roof over the porch is a balcony whose original railing has been replaced by an iron one. Another alteration, asbestos siding, is also seen on the second story. Shiplap sheathes the lower floor and skirts the foundation. Decorative, partially fluted window framing rounds out the decorative program. The house is located on a large lot with citrus trees and palms and a massive stone retaining wall. A carriage house belonging to a property on Kellam is visible next to it, and harmonizes with it.

Briefly state historic^ and/or vchitactiirai importance (indude dates, infants, end persons associated with the sitej The structure located at 917 Douglas Street was originally built as a single family residence. The property in question was sold to Mr. and Mrs. Everett E. Hall for the sum of $1 as recorded in a Los Angeles County deed on Fe-ruary 24, 1887. The j property was sold by George McAllister of Rochester, New York. In the July 1, 1887 issue of the Los Angeles Times was reported the completion of a residence for E.E. Hall on Water Street, costing $6,000. This information suggests that the structure ~] was built during the first half of the year 1887. Los Angeles City Directories list j Everett Hall living in Angelino Heights by the year 1887. The address was refined by 1888 to Water Street near Kellam Avenue. Water is the previous name of Douglas Street. Everett Hall was one of the most important developers of the Angelino Heights area, having formed a partnership with William W. Stilson (Hall & Stilson) for real estate speculation, and financially manipulating the availability of development of lots with Victory Beaudry, Stilson and William McCrory. Hall also was president and J manager of the Los Angeles and Pacific Railway Company. Hall maintained his resi- ) dence at this address until he moved to 1217 Bellevue Avenue during the year of 1890.

    GC 1323 Historic Sites Surveys Repository: Seaver Center for Western History Research, Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County Span Dates: 1974-1996, bulk 1974-1978 Conditions Governing Use: Permission to publish, quote or reproduce must be secured from the repository and the copyright holder Conditions Governing Access: Research is by appointment only Source: Surveys were compiled by Tom Sitton, former Head of History Department, Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County Background: In 1973, the History Department of the Natural History Museum was selected to conduct surveys of Los Angeles County historic sites as part of a statewide project funded through the National Preservation Act of 1966. Tom Sitton was appointed project facilitator in 1974 and worked with various historical societies to complete survey forms. From 1976 to 1977, the museum project operated through a grant awarded by the state Office of Historic Preservation, which allowed the hiring of three graduate students for the completion of 500 surveys, taking site photographs, as well as to help write eighteen nominations for the National Register of Historic Places (three of which were historic districts). The project concluded in 1978. Preferred Citation: Historic Sites Surveys, Seaver Center for Western History Research, Los Angeles County Museum of Natural History Special Formats: Photographs Scope and Content: The Los Angeles County historic site surveys were conducted from 1974 through 1978. Compilation of data for historic sites continued beyond 1978 until approximately 1996, by way of Sitton's efforts to add application sheets prepared for National Register of Historic Places nominations. These application forms provide a breadth of information to supplement the data found on the original survey forms.

  • Garden Apartments: Remarkable Collection of Monumental Bridges Spanning the Los Angeles River
    Volume 34 J a n f e b 2 0 1 2 number 1 Sixth Street Viaduct to Be Replaced by Cindy Olnick On November 18, 2011, the Los Angeles City Council certified the final environmental impact report for the Sixth Street Viaduct Seismic Retrofit Project. The report calls for the replacement of the 1932 bridge with a widened, realigned, cable-stayed suspension bridge of modern design. Despite years of research and consultation with experts worldwide, the Conservancy and others could not find a way to halt or reverse the alkali-silica reaction that is slowly destroying the bridge. The demise of the bridge will be a tremendous loss to the history and landscape of Los Angeles, and to the many Angelenos who care so deeply about this icon. Yet this regrettable outcome LEFT: Lincoln Place in Venice, threatened with demolition for nearly a decade until 2010. Photo by Ingrid E.
