Save The Edinburgh Bungalow Court
The Issue
We support the designation of 750-756-1/2 N. Edinburgh Ave. as a Historic-Cultural Monument.
Edinburgh Bungalow Court meets the following criterion for designation as a Los Angeles Historic-Cultural Monument:
It reflects the broad cultural, political, economic, or social history of the nation, State or community.
It embodies the distinguishing characteristics of an architectural-type specimen, inherently valuable for study of a period, style, or method of construction.
Built in 1923, Edinburgh Bungalow Court is significant for its association with the rapid development of Hollywood and its surrounding areas in the early 1920s. The subject property also embodies defining characteristics of the bungalow court, a multi-family housing typology prevalent in and around Hollywood in the early decades of the twentieth century, and one that is rapidly diminishing.
Per SurveyLA, it is an "Excellent example of a bungalow court in Hollywood. Bungalow courts have particular significance in Hollywood; many were built in the 1920's-30's to accommodate people working in the entertainment industry."
