Many of you will remember several years back when three stone houses were demolished on Sheldon Street. A parking lot replaced one and a rather large dwelling replaced one of the other two. A number of meetings ensued and the community was in an uprising. “We don’t want to lose our neighborhood” was the outcry. In order to prevent more of this razing several of us did a bit of digging. We were looking for solutions. The best and most obvious solution was an HPOZ. At least 75% of the residents in the proposed zone signed a petition that read, “We, the undersigned, support the idea of having the STONEHURST neighborhood nominated as a City of Los Angeles Historic Preservation Overlay Zone (HPOZ).” That document is now public record and you can check the names for yourselves. With that petition and a few dedicated individuals (sadly, not us) doing the footwork, the process was started.
