Two of West Hollywood's few remaining examples of pre-1920s Craftsman architecture design have been granted Cultural Resource Designation by the city.
According to the city's Historic Preservation Commission, the single-family structures at 8863 and 8863 ½ Cynthia Street were constructed in 1912 during a period of primary significance for Sherman, a settlement that was the predecessor of West Hollywood.
Architecturally, some of the properties’ significant characteristics are gabled-front roofs with open eaves, exterior walls clad in wooden clapboard, bay windows, and projecting porches.
The structures were evaluated by the city’s consulting firm, Architectural Resources Group, and granted Cultural Resource Designation by the City Council upon recommendation by the Historic Preservation Commission.
