Building History

Los Angeles architect Edward Butler Rust, Sr., (1883-1958) designed this 2-story, brick building with stores on the first floor, apartments on the second. Rust worked with the construction/development company, Edwards and Wildey, on designs for its “All-Electrical Homes," the first of which appeared in 1920. (Thank you to Gary Stella for sending the author information on E.B. Rust in an email, 10/11/2016.) Rust, Godfrey Edwards and Otto Wildey all lived in the Eagle Rock neighborhood of Los Angeles and collaborated on various projects.

Edwards and Wildey would develop the Granada Hills Tract in the San Fernando Valley in 1925. In the Granada Hills development, Edwards and Wildey built a two-story commercial building, hoping to stimulate commercial activity for their new subdivision.
