At Home With History: Exploring Los Angeles' Historic Preservation Overlay Zones
November 6, 2011 |
The Conservancy is excited to present another in our popular series of At Home with History tours, showcasing the historic neighborhoods of Los Angeles.
You'll have the chance to explore three historic neighborhoodsand enjoy docent-led tours of six private residences, ranging from a turn-of-the-century mansion to an 1930s apartment complex.
See firsthand how owners preserve their historic homes while keeping them wonderfully livable, adding their own personalities and layers of history.
Known in the City of L.A. as Historic Preservation Overlay Zones (HPOZs), historic districts help protect the unique character of communities and preserve the city's past. Los Angeles has twenty-nine HPOZs, with more in the works.
This special, one-time-only tour features three recently designated HPOZs, coined “the triplet” by residents. Country Club Park, Wilshire Park, and Windsor Village are adjacent to one another, sharing a border along Crenshaw Boulevard near Olympic Boulevard. Developed in the early to mid-1900s, each neighborhood has diverse styles and types of housing, and each has a unique and fascinating history.
At Home with History is a self-paced tour. You can visit the homes, explore the neighborhoods, and talk with “neighborhood ambassadors” at your own pace, and in whatever order you choose. Visiting all the tour homes will take about four hours.
