Street view of a large Neo-Mediterranean style residence located on an unidentified street in Eagle Rock. The home sits on a hill and has two staircases with decorative fencing, which lead to the main entrance; two equally decorative lampposts are positioned on either side of the door. The age of the planting suggests that the home was fairly new at the time the image was taken. A sign posted on the front lawn reads: "Landscape construction by Eagle Rock Nurseries J.M. Grant Prop." A Spanish style home is being built on the left lot, and on the right side, a sloped dirt lot is visible. Eagle Rock is a neighborhood in northeastern Los Angeles that derives its name from a massive boulder at the district's northern edge, which contains an indentation that casts a vaguely bird-shaped shadow on the rock at certain times of day. In the 1880s Eagle Rock existed as a farming community with grand Victorian farmhouses and many exquisite Craftsman homes in charming neighborhoods. It became an independent city in 1906 and was incorporated in 1911; it also became home to Occidental College, designed by famed architect Myron Hunt, in 1914. Several streets in Eagle Rock are lined with historic and architecturally significant homes done in the Colonial revival, English Tudor, Craftsman, Georgian, Streamline Moderne, Art Deco and Spanish/Mission style.
