It was built for councilman Daniel Innes, a socially prominent city councilman and real estate developer.\u00a0 The Innes family lived in the home for nearly forty years before selling the property in 1920, who owned if for another fifty years. The home’s exterior<\/a> features tailored, rectangular lines, emphasized by vertical grooves with decorative wood trim and classic Victorian<\/strong> details.

In the 1950s, many of the Angelino Heights mansions proved too expensive for residents to maintain.\u00a0 During the 1970s the area underwent a renaissance and many of the original properties were purchased by new owners who did historical restoration on them. The neighborhood remains highly intact and Angelino Heights represents the largest concentration of Victorian<\/u> homes remaining in Los Angeles.\u00a0 Carroll Avenue\u2019s 1300 block was listed as a National Register Historic District in 1976 and later became Los Angeles\u2019 first Historic Preservation Overlay Zone in 1983. Today, the Los Angeles Conservancy holds an easement that protects the home\u2019s exterior fa\u00e7ade as well as interior features that include woodwork, hardware, and decorative details.<\/a><\/p>\n
