Speaking of the Foy House, both
Big Orange Landmarks and
Nathan Masters say it was moved from 651 S Figueroa to Wilshire Blvd, then to Witmer Street and on to Carroll Ave, but that's not reflected in the permit:

1919, the year before the move:

625 Witmer St, after 1960:

I well remember the Foy residence on Witmer. I used to drive by it often. In later years it was painted a not-unattractive, pale aqua/mint green color with white trim.
1337 Carroll Avenue. The home was moved overnight on Dec 8/9 1992,
according to LAT reporting at the time (although
wiki pegs it at 1993):

I wish someone would get around to restoring the porch gingerbread, but I wish a lot of things.
There's also references on several sites that the Foy was LA's first 3-story house. Unless they're counting the basement/crawl space, I don't know where that's coming from.
Anyway, too much conflicting information on the net. Does anyone have any reliable info about a move to Wilshire Blvd? Thx
