The Harvard Heights HPOZ is mostly characterized by two-story Craftsman-style residences built in the beginning of the 1900s. The large and somewhat grand scale of architecture is due to a land covenant that stipulated that houses built within the tract cost more than $2,500, which was a lot in 1905. The neighborhood also features the work of the famous Heineman brothers as well as notable West Adams architect Frank Tyler. The HPOZ boundaries include modest commercial buildings located along the edges of the neighborhood. The Harvard Heights HPOZ was adopted by the City Council in 2000. The zip code is 90006.
