Description
Declared Historic-Cultural Monument #212 by the City of Los Angeles in 1979. ANSWER: A book could be written about his magnificent old place, which is located at 2421 S Figueroa St., near Adams Blvd. But, it be brief, it was built by the Stimsons, lumber tycoons; then was the home of the Maiers, the brewing family; next it was taken over by an SC fraternity, but the boys weren't the world's best neighbors, so Mrs. Estelle Doheny bought it and presented it to the Sisters of St. Joseph of Carondelet, who teach at the nearby St. Patrick, St. Brigid and Catholic Girls High Schools. (And who would never[sic] approve of such a long sentence.) KNOW YOUR CITY, NO.116 -- This is home to a lot of schoolteachers. And it is passed by thousands upon thousands of people every day. It is a famous old residence [sic]. Many probably have wondered about it. Want to find out? Page 38, Part 1.
