West Adams is one of the largest historic districts, in Los Angeles.
Developed in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, it contains many fine examples of Victorian, Craftsman, Colonial, Queen Anne, Spanish Revival, and many other architectural styles.
At the time of its founding it was the City’s elite residential district, home to such icons of the film and music worlds as Ray Charles, Little Richard, and Hattie McDaniel. Today, its population is as diverse as its architecture.
