It is also the last residence of Frederick Hastings Rindge, a wealthy and influential Los Angeles citizen and Malibu Rancho owner, and a significant example of Roehrig's work. It was the first house built in the West Adams Heights tract and anchors that historic neighborhood.","narrative":"Built in 1902 at 2263 Harvard Boulevard in Los Angeles, this Chateauesque mansion sits on a raised corner lot behind a curving sandstone wall. It rises two and a half stories between twin conical-roofed towers, with brick walls covered in stucco, sandstone quoining and a curved front arcade. Inside, walnut paneling, painted friezes, leaded glass and marble fireplaces decorate the main hall. A carriage house and a museum building, which once held Frederick Hastings Rindge's archeological collection, share the grounds. Architect Frederick Louis Roehrig designed the house, and E. C. Shipley built it. It was the first house built in the West Adams Heights tract. Rindge, a director and officer of several Los Angeles companies and owner of the Malibu Rancho, died in 1905, and his widow May Rindge lived there until 1941. The house later served as a convent, a maternity home and a family residence. It was listed for its architectural quality, integrity and local associations.","period_of_significance":"1900-","architect_builder":"Frederick Roehrig (architect); E. C.
