Heritage Court
In the late 1980s the City of Redondo Beach approved the concept of creating Heritage Court within Dominquez Park. Work through the 1990s resulted in a Victorian style courtyard containing a rose garden, fountain, arbor and two historical Redondo Beach houses. The Queen Anne House is used as the City’s Historical Museum. It was built in the late 19th century on Garnet before it got moved to S Broadway and then to Heritage Court. The Morrell House, constructed in 1906 on Catalina Avenue, combines Queen Anne and Craftsman styles. Facing demolition in 1989, a joint effort saved this residence. The developer donated the building, the City allocated a place in Dominquez Park and constructed the new foundation, and the Redondo Beach Historical Society contributed its move up the hill to Heritage Court. Both houses are Redondo City Landmarks.
