Wilton Place and the 100 blocks of S. Wilton Drive and Ridgewood Place. It holds 63 single-family houses built 1907-1925, plus two built in the mid-1930s.","why_significant":"The area was planned as an upper-middle-class single-family neighborhood and built up in a concentrated period, mostly before and just after World War I. Because it has seen virtually no major alterations since, it forms an unusually homogeneous neighborhood. Its houses show a range of early twentieth-century styles, chiefly Craftsman and Colonial Revival bungalows.","narrative":"Wilton Historic District is a compact residential neighborhood in Los Angeles along S. Wilton Place, S. Wilton Drive and S. Ridgewood Place, between First and Third Streets. It contains 63 single-family houses dating from 1907 to 1925, along with two built in the mid-1930s. About half are two-story Craftsman bungalows, and most of the rest are Colonial Revival bungalows. Other houses show Mission, Tudor, Dutch Colonial, Classical Revival and Prairie influences. Architects named include Frank M. Tyler, H. J. Knauer and H. H. Whiteley, and several houses were built by contractors or owners. The neighborhood was planned as an upper-middle-class area on the northwestern edge of the city. About half of the houses predate World War I, and nearly all the rest followed within a decade after it. Houses sit on larger than normal lots raised above the street, and no significant alterations have changed the buildings or the area, giving the district an unusually cohesive appearance.","period_of_significance":"1907-1925","architect_builder":"Various (See descriptions)","architectural_style":"Craftsman bungalows and Colonial Revival, with Mission, Tudor, Dutch Colonial and other revival styles","criteria":[],"status_note":"Condition is marked good and the area is described as essentially unchanged; the properties are occupied private residences.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:55:31.98941-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_CA/79000490.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/79000490/650b508d6f-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/79000490/650b508d6f-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 3.0","author":"Los Angeles","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:House_at_221_Wilton,_Los_Angeles.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:House_at_221_Wilton,_Los_Angeles.JPG"},"district":{"nrhp_refnum":"100009648","name":"St. Andrews Square Historic District","url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/districts/california/st-andrews-square-historic-district-100009648/"},"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/123859627","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wilton_Historic_District","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q8023380"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/california/los-angeles-county/wilton-historic-district-79000490/"}
