Historical Preservation
Kelton Homes Now (September 2009)
 In
September 2009, Lisa and I visited the Kelton homes, where many of the same
people who battled for historical preservation still live. The homes
were beautiful. We felt proud that we played a role in preserving
these cultural monuments. A plaque from the Cultural Heritage Commission of
Los Angeles now exists as you enter one of the homes
indicating its status as a historic cultural monument, a testament to
architect Allen Siple. Photo by Ken

 The
Allen Siple home is now owned by Gary and Kia. As it is a historical
monument, it has been refurbished with specially made materials to match the
tiles and work originally done by Janss Development in 1929. Photo by Ken
Lee.A farmhouse across the street, the first home built on Kelton Avenue, has been purchased by developers with the intent of tearing it down to build condos. The battle to preserve our cultural heritage continues. |
