Yoakum, a religious and charitable effort that sheltered the poor, alcoholics and the homeless. The buildings record the movement's growth from a single family home to a dormitory, tabernacle, print shop and housing. The form also notes Eastlake, Queen Anne, Craftsman and Mission Revival architecture and a high degree of integrity.","narrative":"Pisgah Home Historic District is a group of eight buildings on a block in Los Angeles's Garvanza/Highland Park neighborhood. It grew around a house bought in 1895 by Dr. Finis E. Yoakum and his wife Mary, who opened it to poor and homeless people and founded the Pisgah Home Movement. The original Eastlake-style house gained a rear dormitory in 1901. A second Yoakum residence followed in 1903, and a barn-like tabernacle for testimonies, meetings and overflow sleeping space was completed in 1908. Later additions include a shotgun duplex, an open kitchen, a print shop that produced the Pisgah journal, and a Craftsman duplex. Seven buildings contribute to the district; a 2006 senior housing building does not. The group was listed for its link to the movement's religious and charitable mission, its range of early twentieth century styles, and its well-preserved character. A 2006 tax credit rehabilitation upgraded systems and repaired historic fabric.","period_of_significance":"1895-1936","architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Late 19th and 20th Century Revivals: Mission/Spanish Colonial Revival; Late 19th and Early 20th Century American Movements: Bungalow/Craftsman; Late Victorian: Stick/Eastlake","criteria":[],"status_note":"Buildings were rehabilitated in 2006 with federal tax credits; the ancillary buildings were converted to residential use, and the district remains in institutional housing and religious use.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:54:29.709565-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_CA/07001304.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/07001304/4ac1bf8728-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/07001304/4ac1bf8728-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 3.0","author":"Los Angeles","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Pisgah_Home_Historic_District,_Highland_Park.JPG\" rel=\"noopener\">Los Angeles</a>, <a href=\"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0\" rel=\"license noopener\">CC BY-SA 3.0</a>, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Pisgah_Home_Historic_District,_Highland_Park.JPG"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/123859414","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pisgah_Home_Historic_District","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q7198284"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/california/los-angeles-county/pisgah-home-historic-district-07001304/"}
