Historical Preservation
Map of Janss Westwood Hills and Holmby Hills Development Area
 Map of Westwood Hills courtesy of Katy Lain, Janss descendant. The area between Pico and Santa Monica Blvds., was the first area developed by the Janss Investment Co. This tract was mostly comprised of small lots. According to history books, the people living in the Westwood area were as diverse a group as could be found in one area developed by a single firm. This wide cross-section of incomes has continued to this day. |
 In
the Kelton duplexes,
schoolteachers to lawyers, musicians to secretaries, and even
actors such as Cheryl Ladd of "Charlie's Angels" and
Donald Wood of "True Grit" have lived here and enjoyed
their charm and sense of history. However, even though the
Cultural Heritage Commission has designated these historic
monuments and many other architectural historians have voiced
their support, these homes are in grave danger of being destroyed
by the Cohanzads, developers who intend to build a large 24-unit
condo on the three lots. The fight goes on. |
