Kellam Avenue
After the Victorian homes of Bunker Hill were razed in the 1950s, the Angeleno Heights area of Los Angeles became the largest concentration of Victorian homes. Just a block up the hill from the area’s widely-known Carroll Avenue, a sign on Kellam Avenue advises visitors of the “Highest Concentration of Victorian Residences” with references to five Los Angeles Historic Cultural Monuments. Both streets were named and developed by William W. Stilson and Everett E. Hall after they filed for subdivision of the original Angelino Tract on March 19, 1886. The Victorians on Kellam Avenue were built generally between 1886 and 1899 and while not, perhaps, as grand as some on Carroll Avenue, they are nonetheless as exemplary of the architectural styles of the period.
