City Grants Cynthia Street Properties Cultural Resource Designation
Located in a unique section of the city, the single-family structures are deemed important historical structures for exemplifying special elements of West Hollywood.
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.
