If The Walls Of Your Home Could Talk, What Would They Say?

Los Angeles has such a variety of homes, and a lot of them date back to 1950 or well before.  We have history running through the veins of our streets and neighborhoods.  And the valley is no exception.  Back in the 1930's we had 3 airports up and running and it wasn't long before we were the home of a lot of the major studios like Universal Studios, Warner Brothers, CBS, Disney Studios and many more.  The airports and studios drew in so many people wanting to live in the valley that between 1930 and 1940 the population doubled. We have had some of the most famous actors, singers, directors, and producers call the valley their home, and we still do. And while the stories of the famous are always interesting, so is the history of the people and homes that made the valley what it is today.  So, if you've read any of my other articles, I'm sure you can tell I love my job buying and selling houses. But one of the most fascinating things about real estate, is the history and architecture behind the homes. I have dozens of books about these things but the other day I ran across a website that contains an enormous amount of information about our Valley homes and areas, and the history behind a lot of them. This site even gives a breakdown of certain groups of homes and the story behind who built them, when they were built, and their addresses.  If you enjoy reading about these things as much as I do, you must check this out. Or maybe, you might even find your house on one of these lists and learn things you never knew before. Check it out here Survey LA
