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]
