Minerva Park Place
Minerva Park Place in Long Beach is a narrow street lined with 16 Spanish Colonial Revival homes. The “very tiny” Minerva Park Place Historic District was established in 1989 to preserve the houses built by street resident and building contractor Frank Smith in 1925. The district’s charm and small scale is reminiscent of courtyard housing, but unlike courtyards, has a narrow street running down the middle. These single-family residences all share common features, such as flat stucco walls, flat roofs, arches, and accents of red roof tile. Realty sites list some of the houses sizes ranging from 1 bed, 1 bath, 681 sq ft to 3 bed, 1 bath, 1,145 sq ft.
