Building History
This was one of two small apartment buildings erected by F.W. Cary in 1904. The Los Angeles Herald described them in a real estate note of 1904: "F.W. Cary has just completed two modern flats on the northwest corner of Pico and Vermont street [sic], facing the Westmoreland tract, at an outlay of $12,000. The flats have baths, mantels, speaking tubes, door springs, gas and electricity. Both flats are 44x58 feet, two stories, and occupy a lot of 52x144 feet. Jacob Smith was the architect and builder. All of the suites are taken at a rental of $173 a month." (See "General News of Real Estate: Two New Flats ," Los Angeles Herald, vol. XXXII, no. 57, 11/27/1904, pt. II, p. 7.)
