Garden apartments are celebrated.

Historic Resources Group's Principal Architect Peyton Hall, FAIA and Planning Associate Robby Aranguren, recently participated in the Los Angeles Conservancy’s “We (Heart) Garden Apartments!” tour. The event highlighted the historic significance of early garden apartments which represent important innovations in multi-family housing. Docent-led tours of several of Los Angeles's most important historic garden apartment complexes were featured.  Peyton and Robby were onsite at the Lincoln Place Apartments to share their expertise and experiences working on the rehabilitation of this iconic garden apartment complex constructed between 1949 and 1951. Designed by architect Heth Wharton and pioneering African American designer Ralph Vaughn, the residential buildings at Lincoln Place exhibit a notable degree of architectural variation that is unusual in early garden apartments.
