It holds 44 one-story Craftsman bungalows built 1911-1914 by the Tifal Brothers.","why_significant":"The document supplied is truncated before the Statement of Significance, so the stated argument for significance is not available. The description shows a cohesive tract of single-family houses conceived, designed and built by one firm, with consistent character, a common setback and a high level of integrity. The form is also part of a multiple property listing on historic resources associated with African Americans in Los Angeles.","narrative":"This single block of 52nd Place in Los Angeles, running between McKinley Avenue and Avalon Boulevard, is lined with one-story Craftsman bungalows. The Tifal Brothers conceived, designed and built the whole tract of single-family houses between 1911 and 1914, and the homes share a common setback. Typical features include low-pitched gabled roofs with overhanging eaves and exposed rafter tails, front porches and chimneys of brick or river rock, and multi-paned wood casement windows. Porch supports and decorative trusswork vary from house to house within the shared design. Of 44 buildings, 37 contribute to the district's character. Seven do not: two duplexes built in 2008 and five bungalows altered with stucco and replacement windows. Detached rear garages are not counted, and street trees are sporadic. The district keeps a strong consistency of character and a high level of physical integrity, and it remains in residential use. It is also associated with a listing on historic resources tied to African Americans in Los Angeles.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":"Tifal Brothers","architectural_style":"Late 19th & 20th Century American Movements - Craftsman","criteria":[],"status_note":"Houses are still in single-family use; 37 contributing and 7 non-contributing buildings, the latter being two 2008 duplexes and five heavily altered bungalows.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:54:29.791312-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_CA/09000398.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/09000398/38cde8481e-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/09000398/38cde8481e-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 3.0","author":"Cbl62","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Charlotta_Bass_House.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">Cbl62</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:Charlotta_Bass_House.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/123857392","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/52nd_Place_Historic_District","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q4640272"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/california/los-angeles-county/52nd-place-historic-district-09000398/"}
