Field.","why_significant":"The nomination argues it is the only known clustered hillside bungalow development remaining in the Los Angeles area, differing from the symmetrical bungalow court. Its informal layout, pathways and heavy planting give a village-like feel. It also provided rental housing for people in the early Hollywood movie industry.","narrative":"Highland-Camrose Bungalow Village is a cluster of fourteen houses and two garages spread over 1.6 acres of hillside and flat ground in Los Angeles. Horace W. Field bought the land in 1914-1915 and developed the group between 1916 and 1924. Most of the houses were built by contractor Lee Campbell, with others by George L. Field and the Taylor Brothers, whose 2111 house is thought to have shaped the style of the rest. The buildings are Craftsman bungalows with low gable roofs, clipped porch gables, exposed rafters, knee brackets, clapboard siding and brick chimneys, plus one Dutch Colonial Revival house with a gambrel roof. Pathways, stone walls and mature plantings tie them together. The nomination values the village as the only known clustered hillside bungalow development remaining in the Los Angeles area, a looser alternative to the symmetrical bungalow court. It also housed people working in the nearby Hollywood film industry, served by a trolley line on Highland Avenue.","period_of_significance":"1916-1924","architect_builder":"Taylor Brothers; Campbell, Lee","architectural_style":"Bungalow/Craftsman","criteria":["C"],"status_note":"Current function is listed as vacant/not in use; the text notes several houses are boarded up and one has fire damage, while other entries describe units altered into multiple dwellings.","vacant_flag":null,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:54:28.019492-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_CA/89000198.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/89000198/8d4e0c5553-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/89000198/8d4e0c5553-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 3.0","author":"Los Angeles","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Highland-Camrose_Bungalow_Village.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:Highland-Camrose_Bungalow_Village.JPG"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/123859196","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Highland-Camrose_Bungalow_Village","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q14682243"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/california/los-angeles-county/highland-camrose-bungalow-village-89000198/"}
