The Historic-Cultural Monument that Wasn't to Be

Much to my amazement The SITE of the Jessie Benton Fremont "Retreat" failed to become a Historic-Cultural Monument in the City of Los Angeles. Located at the corner of West 28th Street and Hoover Street (1101 West Twenty-eighth Street) it was the first documented work of archtiect Sumner P. Hunt in the City of Los Angeles and it was documented by the New York Times. How many other works constructed in Los Angeles in 1891 were accorded such an honor?

Following are some photos of the Jessie Benton Fremont "Retreat."

Stay tuned for a book...
