Building an ADU in Adams-Normandie HPOZ

This neighborhood, Adams-Normandie, represents 100 years of history by featuring several Shingle and Craftsman style residences. At the turn of the 20th century the West Adams–Normandie area was one of Los Angeles’ most prestigious communities because the location attracted many individuals seeking suburban ambiance adjacent to the downtown area. Percy H. Clark, one of the primary real estate developers of Beverly Hills, built many of the custom homes in the neighborhood, including his own home on Van Buren Place. Overall, the architecture of the HPOZ shows the transition from Victorian era styles to the Arts and Crafts aesthetic of the early 1900s. The Van Buren Place Historic District, listed in the National Register of Historic Places, is located in the heart of the HPOZ. The Adams-Normandie HPOZ was adopted by the City Council in 2000.
