thank you for the background Etan! Im lucky enough to have found a unit for cheap in this building, and figured a building so old and beautiful HAD to have some cool history. Cool to find another Angeleno who loves the city as much as you must, doing what you do. Important work!

Fiendish ?

Wright was an original, much like David Adler. So glad many of his structures have been preserved.

Turn your phone East and West instead of North and South

KZfaqrs: Old? I guess it's Victorian! These are Queen Anne style.

I used to live there while I was in Job Corps

Why in the fuck would they make it a Pussy CVS

I shall refer to FLW as Moses henceforth.

So interesting!!!!

Absolutely stunning homes ❤

This house deserves better than to be placed by some on a lower tier in Lautner's output. The grand projects for which Lautner is known may be impressive engineering feats, full of drama and invention, but this house has plenty of innovation and drama while also retaining a human scale and the integrity that he often lost sight of in his work. Drama and grand gestures of form don't outweigh other factors in a house design, and here there is a unity in which all the Lautner signatures are balanced. Perhaps taken on Lautner's own personal standards this would have to come up wanting, but on the standards of good architecture and especially the principles of organic architecture, this one is in the running as Lautner's best.

Hey Etan! Great video, couple things I'd like to point out: this structure was built not by the Masons, but by the Knights of Pythias, Central Avenue Lodge #319. Its architect is Henry Mills (although permits might read Henry Wills, tough to puzzle out). Though built by the KoP (cornerstone in November 1924, completion in February 25), the Masons are in there having functions as early as April 27. Also, it is absolutely untrue (as you state around the 50-second mark) that there are ANY Masonic lodges (in the south, or anywhere else) that exclude Blacks. It's confusing because there *are* five state Grand Lodge systems that don't *recognize* the legitimacy of Prince Hall lodges; rather, they'd prefer African-American men to, in fact, just join their regular lodges. That is to say: Black men can join any and every traditional Masonic lodge in the south, but, because in five states (Louisiana/West Virginia/South Carolina/Arkansas/Mississippi) Grand Lodge and Prince Hall don't have "mutual recognition," so: *if* you are a member of traditional Lodge, you're not allowed to affiliate with Prince Hall lodges, and if you're Prince Hall, you're not allowed affiliate with traditional masonic temple meetings. But point being, if you're Black and want to join a traditional Masonic Lodge, have at it! You just can't be a member of BOTH traditional and Prince Hall. Hope that makes sense. I have *heard* there is, supposedly, a dissident "Whites only" splinter "masonic" group-bear in mind they are NOT recognized by Grand Lodge, i.e. they are just a bunch of knuckleheads, absolutely outside of and abjured by the actual Masonic order. Again, while I have "heard" that, I have also seen no evidence that such a thing actually exists. (Supposedly it existed briefly, in Alabama, as a racist reaction after Alabama became one of the states that recognized and affiliated with Prince Hall Lodge.) Thanks again, and keep up the great work!

That’s a unique looking house!

The bungalow court I lived in on Adams Blvd in Glendale in1980 had a real ice box, a kitchen 'table' that folded up into the wall and an ironing board that came out of the same space and laid on the table. It had a Murphy style bed that, instead of unfolding from the wall, was on a central pivot that spun the bed (which was held fast against the spinning wall with springs similar to those in garage doors) around and then you lowered the bed.

They need to just go ahead and convert that into a Sweetgreen already. It’ll never be a theater ever again.

Wow Fascinating. The owner is a real hero!

Great work! Thank you.

Very early apt building..? Hmmm..

Not much info on this, thanks for sharing

Nice. Thanks always for your LA architectural highlights. Keep up the good work.

They got a hot dog that's been on the spit since the silent error

Looking forward to the completed project ❤

Very cool ... keep us posted !

Why bring up race?

Looks like Pasadena City College

This building is just a knockoff version of the Pasadena Library.

Nice, but please also have some voiceover! ☺️🙏

Congratulations on your 2 year anniversary! Amazing content. Please never stop presenting LA history. It's so rich. Speaking of cemeteries, have you covered Angelus Memorial Cemetery in Compton yet? (located @ 1515 E Compton Blvd, Compton, CA 90221)

Awesome murals in the Aztec Hotel. Imagine what you could do with unlimited funds....... As always, great tour. Thank you.

Very interesting video and a joy to watch. Thanks for sharing!

this house was used in ABC weekend special TV movie The Red Room Riddle from 1983! took me YEARS to find this house, I thought it was just a fake facade for the movie

Great tour Etan! Keep up the good work. I consider you a real resource. I 'm surprised that plaque commemorating the Malaga Cove Plaza doesn't mention the City Beautiful Movement influence. Thank you.

I saw this Bungalow Court in another video about apts in LA area. But yourvideo is great because you tell about moving the buildings and you showed some great interior pictures. Great video.

My sister lived in a Bungalow Court similar to this one in San Gabriel in the 1970s. I grew up in the 1950s in Pasadena/Arcadia and so many neat court yard apt. Great videos.

Great information Ethan! Alan Arkin (my favorite actor of all-time) was recently buried here BUT I cannot find out where in this huge cemetery Can you help me with where I can find where Alan is located? I would greatly appreciate it.

0:10 that is a house that old man parmerlee owned

So interesting and beautiful. Thank you very much. I need to be there😊

Beautiful. Very interesting. Thank you very much

So beautiful. Thanks for showing some of the interiors.

Have you had a chance to go back yet?

PS: You did very good job talking about the Hippodrome & Carousel! eb

Hi! I'm working on gathering some pix & video of the Pier & Palisades Park for this walking tour company I work for that gives ghost tours and I tried to get a vid of the goat today, b/c he his my favorite, and they said "Where's your filming permit?" HAHA L.A. But it is tech "for profit" so what could I say. So happy to see you featured goat, Dickensen. He was carved by a local artist A&E from Orange County and I love him so much. Cheers! Elizabeth

I loved the murals

Its a beautiful house , its a shame we could not get a tour of the house on the inside. 🙁

Der Zeitpunkt des Verkaufs ist unklar. Ich glaube, er hat die Position in Hawaii übernommen und ist dann vielleicht beim Verkauf zurückgekehrt, aber ??? Nicht sicher. Aus meiner Sicht war Lt. Jemison sowohl gut als auch schlecht. Gut, dass er „einen zweiten Satz Bücher über die aufgezeichneten Transkripte der GHH wegschloss“. Schlimm, dass er im Gleichschritt ging, den Befehlen folgte und alles an Chief Thad Brown übergab, wie von seinen Vorgesetzten, H. Leo Stanley und DA Simpson, angeordnet schrieb, dass „Beweise dazu führen, dass George als Verdächtiger gilt.“ Beachten Sie, dass er „NEICHEN“ sagte. Ihm wurde befohlen, ihn freizusprechen, und ich denke, dass die „Tendenzen“ darin bestanden, mit seinem eigenen Gewissen in Konflikt zu geraten. 

Cool!

I just wish your videos were a LITTLE longer Ethan.

Thank you for the information and history about such a unique site! 👍👍

This is great! I wish it was longer! Can you do a video on 414 St. Pierre Road?

Hello Etan! Im so happy you are publishing these videos! They are a big help and strike curiosity to visit and understand LA's architectural heritage. Thank you!
