It is also important for its role in providing police services to Highland Park since 1926. The building serves as a neighborhood landmark in a mainly residential area.","narrative":"Highland Park Police Station, also known as Northeast Police Station, is a two-story brick and reinforced concrete building with a full basement on York Boulevard in Los Angeles. Designed and built by the city's Construction Department, work began in 1925 and the station was dedicated in April 1926. Its Renaissance Revival design features coursed brick, cast stone and terra cotta trim, a symmetrical south facade, an arched entrance with radiating voussoirs, quoins, and medallions bearing the state and city seals. The building was part of a program of new stations meant to serve the city's fast-growing suburbs; four of the five stations from that program no longer exist. Before 1926, police service in the area came from the Lincoln Heights Division. The station has since served roughly ten square miles of Highland Park. Its formal style, now uncommon among surviving civic buildings in the region, and its role as a neighborhood landmark underpin its recognition. It remains in use and largely intact.","period_of_significance":"1925-26","architect_builder":"L. A.
