Шаблон:Infobox settlement Garvanza is a neighborhood in northeast Los Angeles. Fourteen Los Angeles Historic-Cultural Monuments are located in the neighborhood.
History
The town of Garvanza was originally part of the Rancho San Rafael, owned by Jose Maria Verdugo. Its name comes from the fields of garbanzo beans that once flourished in the area.[1] Andrew Glassell and Alfred Beck Chapman bought the land in 1869. Glassell and Chapman sold the land to Ralph and Edward Rogers, real estate developers and brothers. In 1886 the Rogers brothers subdivided the land and began to sell lots in what they called the "Town of Garvanza".[2]Шаблон:Rp The town was annexed by the city of Los Angeles in 1899.[3]
Garvanza was served by Henry Huntington's Los Angeles Railway (LARY) as early as 1902, and the LARY had a direct line from Garvanza to Downtown Los Angeles by 1904.[4]Шаблон:Rp By 1907, Huntington had extended the Garvanza line in two directions: along York Blvd. and along North Figueroa Street.[4]Шаблон:Rp
Two bridges connect Los Angeles and South Pasadena through Garvanza. One, the Los Angeles and San Gabriel Valley Railroad railroad bridge spanning the Arroyo Seco, was first built at grade in wood in 1885,[2]Шаблон:Rp and has been rebuilt twice at the current location since then, first in wood in 1889 and then in steel in 1896. The current steel bridege, which is listed as Los Angeles Historic Cultural Monument No. 339, was modified for dual tracks a century later for use in the current light rail system. The York Boulevard bridge over the Arroyo Seco Parkway was built to replace a small wooden toll bridge which was inadequate to support the growing traffic between South Pasadena and Los Angeles. The old toll house still exists on the South Pasadena side.Шаблон:Citation needed
The Judson Studios, which created much of the stained glass that graced Craftsman and Mission structures in Southern California, have been located in Garvanza since 1911.[5]
In the early 20th century, Garvanza was considered an enclave of the local Arts and Crafts movement.[6]
In 1997, the city of Los Angeles officially redesignated the area "Garvanza." [2]Шаблон:Rp Garvanza is incorporated into the City of Los Angeles "Highland Park-Garvanza HPOZ (Historic Preservation Overlay Zone) Preservation Plan" area adopted by the Los Angeles City Council December 9, 2010.[7] On July 25, 2019, the Garvanza Improvement Association was awarded a preservation award by the Los Angeles Conservancy.[8]
