Kingsley Drive in the Hollywood area of Los Angeles, built in 1921 in a Spanish Colonial Revival style. It has six detached one-story bungalows and a rear two-story four-unit building around a central courtyard.","why_significant":"The nomination presents the property as a well-preserved example of the bungalow court, a multiple-family housing type that flourished in Southern California from about 1910 through the 1930s. It also reflects Hollywood's growth as the film industry drew population and denser housing. It retains many original exterior and interior features and was rehabilitated in 2009 as low-income housing.","narrative":"This bungalow court on N. Kingsley Drive in Hollywood, Los Angeles, was built in 1921 and shows elements of the Spanish Colonial Revival style. Two matching rows of three one-story bungalows face a narrow central courtyard, with a two-story, four-unit residence at the rear. Features include flat roofs with stepped parapets, wood double-hung windows, wood front doors, scored concrete walkways and a red brick driveway. Inside, many units keep hardwood floors, plaster walls, built-in cabinetry and original tile. The court reflects a housing type that spread across Southern California from about 1910 to the 1930s, and it was built as Hollywood grew with the film industry and denser residential streets appeared near Hollywood Boulevard. In 2009 a nonprofit housing corporation rehabilitated it as low-income housing, including accessible units and units for people living with HIV/AIDS. The work included replacing the original stucco after mold was found in the walls. The National Park Service approved the completed work in 2010.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Late 19th/20th Century Revivals: Mission/Spanish Colonial Revival","criteria":[],"status_note":"Rehabilitated in 2009 under the Secretary of the Interior's Standards as low-income housing; still used as multiple dwellings, with a non-contributing garage and laundry building.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:54:29.689832-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_CA/10000763.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/10000763/fbd6368eb5-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/10000763/fbd6368eb5-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 3.0","author":"Downtowngal","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:1721_N._Kingsley.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">Downtowngal</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:1721_N._Kingsley.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/123859005","wikipedia":null,"wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q133280394"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/california/los-angeles-county/bungalow-court-at-1721-n-kingsley-drive-10000763/"}
