Exceptional Arts & Crafts in Wellington Square – sold in 2013 needing substantial restoration/rehab 2012 Victoria Avenue, Historic West Adams |
|
 Own a piece of history! Rare intact 1909 Arts & Crafts residence with its original light fixtures, extraordinary quartersawn oak trim and paneling, beamed ceilings, stained and leaded glass, and murals throughout -- plus, a turret! The formal dining room features murals depicting castles and forests, a leaded glass china cabinet and a stained glass window; the living room has a one-of-a-kind clinker brick fireplace imbedded with agates, serpentine, Mexican opals and other polished stones. The library has leaded glass doors on built-in bookcases and classical scenes in murals above. This historic house is truly awe-inspiring, with another interesting piece of the history that led to its survival: In the 1920s, the residence was moved from Adams Boulevard to its current location, and its exterior was remodeled to match the then-popular Mediterranean Revival style. Later owners, including actress Ruby Dandridge, have maintained the original character-defining features. The City of Los Angeles' "SurveyLA" has identified this house as a Contributor to the eligible Wellington Square historic district. This unique residence will benefit from a sensitive restoration/TLC and likely upgrades to systems, but it represents a seldom-seen opportunity to step back in time and own an Arts & Crafts masterpiece on a large (80'X145') lot. |
