Architecture

Most of the 92 homes were built between 1923 and 1925 by Dan Montelongo, using local river stone from the Tujunga Wash. [1] The neighborhood has the highest concentration of homes utilizing native river rock as a primary building material in Los Angeles. [1]

The bungalows are often characterized as being "Stonemason Vernacular," a derivative of the American Craftsman architectural style. [1] [3]

The 1930 Stonehurst Park Community Building, also by Dan Montelongo, is a Los Angeles Historic-Cultural Monument in the HPOZ. [3]
