For the past couple of weeks I have been concentrating on photographing Craftsman style houses for an upcoming article I have been asked to write for the "Los Feliz Observer". The article will be the first in a series highlighting the development of our neighborhood from 1900 until the present day.

1952-1954 N. Dracena Drive c.1923

Early Los Feliz deveopment occured largely in the "flats", the relatively level parts south of Los Feliz Boulevard. The more-expensive-to-build lots north of the boulevard were developed later.. Most of the homes built in the first two decades of the twentieth century were of the Craftsman style; the duplex located at 1952-1954 N. Dracena Drive shown above is another fine example.
