Los Feliz Improvement Association Historical Residential Survey

Preface

This historical survey of Los Feliz has been a 32-year effort by community volunteers to document the develop-ment and architectural treasures of our neighborhood.

Diane Kanner had previously participated in a similar project involving Hollywood and believed that Los Fe-liz warranted the same analysis. She proposed the project to the Los Feliz Improvement Association Board of Directors who enthusiastically embraced the undertaking. An LFIA History Committee was created under Di-ane’s leadership to coordinate the work. A gala at the Los Feliz Boulevard Letts mansion attended by more than 600 supporters was held in September, 1988. $25,000 was raised to cover the initial costs of the historic survey.

The firm of Heumann and McAvoy was hired to do a preliminary assessment of Los Feliz. The district was subdivided into eight areas extending east-west between Riverside and Canyon Drives and north-south from Franklin Avenue to Griffith Park. 2,700 buildings built before World War II or judged to be of architectural or historical significance were identified. Each building was evaluated for its potential as a landmark and de-scribed.

In 1991, Diane Kanner and Edie Morrow decided that 3,000 structures from 8,500 building permits de-served further study. Ken Hollis entered the information into a computer, including the Assessor's Parcel Num-ber and the legal description.

From 1988 to 1992, volunteers photographed each of the 3,000 properties, and these were attached to a working profile sheet for each building. The pages were cross-checked to validate a correct match to each ad-dress by revisiting each street in 1995 and 1996, when Marian Dodge took over the Chair position on the LFIA History Committee.

Simultaneously, interesting historic information about the homes and their residents was researched and added to the profiles. Countless hours were spent at the Los Angeles Central Library microfiche readers scan-ning issues of “Southwest Builder and Contractor” from the 1920s and 1930s that included references to Los Feliz streets.

Finished copies of the profile sheets were printed on acid-free paper and the photographs were transferred to the clean copy. The pages were organized alphabetically by street name and number.

The entire 3,000-page survey was photocopied in the summer of 2000 and made available to the public. Copies were given to the Los Feliz Branch Library, and the Los Angeles Department of City Planning.

In 2008, Donald Seligman digitized the entire data base. At the same time, the 1920 and 1930 census data along with additional historic information was added. In 2016, the 1910 and 1940 census data were added.

After the LFA expanded its official boundaries south to Hollywood Boulevard in 2008, it was decided to ex-pand the survey to include the additional areas. From 2008 until 2011, Donald Seligman and Jon Zimmermann began the arduous task of researching and recording the data and photographing each additional residential or historically significant commercial/public property within the expanded boundaries. These were then format-ted on additional pages to be added to the respective volumes.

In 2019, Donald Seligman added the Franklin Hills streets to the data base. This effort now completes all the streets and buildings within the official LFIA/Los Feliz boundaries. It is thanks to the efforts of dozens of volunteers of the History Committee of the Los Feliz Improvement Association over more than three decades that this historical survey has been completed. We hope that you find it helpful and informative.

History: 4425 W. Russell Avenue was the home of actor Oliver Hardy in 1924. Oliver Hardy, who be-

came an icon of early American cinema comedy, was born in 1892 in Harlem, Georgia. His ear-ly singing talents brought him into the minstrel show circuit by the time he was eight. He be-gan to act in film comedies in 1913 with the Lubin Company in Florida. He moved to Los Ange-les in 1917. By the time he first appeared with his future partner Stan Laurel in “The Lucky Dog” (1921), he was already a veteran with 226 productions under his belt. During this period, he lived at several residences in the immediate neighborhood. His first longer film with Laurel was in 1926, and they were first given star billing in “From Soup to Nuts” in 1928. Through the 1930s, they were one of filmdom’s reigning comedic duos, and while Hardy’s career slowed

dramatically after 1940, by the time of his retirement in 1951, he had been featured in over 400 films! His partnership with Laurel had lasted 31 years (1926-1951). He passed away in 1957 in North Hollywood, California.
