Lincoln Park Historic District

Lincoln Park Historic District is a 45-block neighborhood of roughly 230 acres just north of downtown Pomona, at the eastern edge of Los Angeles County. It takes its name from Lincoln Park, a nearly circular city park founded in 1908 that anchors the northeast part of the district and is ringed by architecturally notable houses. The district holds 826 primary buildings, built mostly between the 1890s and 1940s, and is dominated by single-family homes. Late Victorian and National Folk houses sit alongside many Craftsman bungalows, often finished in river rock and clapboard, and a range of Revival styles such as Spanish Eclectic, Colonial Revival and Mission. Larger landmarks include Saint Paul's Church, a 1930 Mission Revival building designed by Carlton Monroe Winslow, and the 1928 Casa Bonita Apartments. Four historic hitching posts and the park's parkway trees add to the period streetscape. The mix of styles from successive building periods is the district's main strength.
