It describes the block's integrity and cohesion as rare in Los Angeles. The Significance section is cut off, so only architecture is confirmed as a marked area.","narrative":"South Bonnie Brae Street, between Olympic Boulevard and 11th Street in Los Angeles, holds a U-shaped group of sixteen buildings, fifteen of them large two-story houses built between about 1890 and 1905. They began as single-family homes in one of the city's older residential neighborhoods. Styles run from Queen Anne Victorian to Colonial Revival, with Chateauesque, Shingle Style and Classic Box examples mixed in. Each house has its own touches, such as carved panels, towers, fishscale shingles, Palladian windows and spindlework, yet the block stays consistent in scale, setback and massing. One 1922 duplex-sized apartment building is the only later intrusion and fits the streetscape. Two houses on South Bonnie Brae and one on West 11th were moved from South Olive Street in 1909. One house, 1036, is Los Angeles Historic-Cultural Monument #99. The district was listed because of its architectural quality and unusually intact streetscape, which the document calls a rare find in Los Angeles.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":"Thomas F.
