Stonehurst Historic Preservation Overlay Zone

The Stonehurst Historic Preservation Overlay Zone is located in the Sun Valley neighborhood of Los Angeles, in the northeastern San Fernando Valley.[1]

It is a city-designated Historic Preservation Overlay Zone (HPOZ).[2]

Architecture

[edit]

Most of the 92 homes were built between 1923 and 1925 by Dan Montelongo, using local river stone from the Tujunga Wash.[1] The neighborhood has the highest concentration of homes utilizing native river rock as a primary building material in Los Angeles.[1]

The bungalows are often characterized as being "Stonemason Vernacular," a derivative of the American Craftsman architectural style.[1][3]

The 1930 Stonehurst Park Community Building, also by Dan Montelongo, is a Los Angeles Historic-Cultural Monument in the HPOZ.[3]
