e_r: Have I ever told you that I love your ebay snapshot discoveries? Shots of old houses, especially when they can found still standing, are great. Over coffee this morning I poked around to see who lived at 2878 Edgehill.... Addie B and Helen C Freudenberg (sisters?) were living there in 1942, apparently having moved from 1321 W. 57th St. By 1956, Henry Kwok had moved into 2878 Edgehill.
I love this area of West Adams/Jefferson Park, a little corner of irregular streets among the L.A. grid (2878 has an odd triangular lot)--plenty of great noirish stucco bungalows mixed with a few earlier Craftsmans. When you mentioned Edgehill, I was reminded of the house below at Montclair & Edgehill, which I'd run across a while ago. It's on the older, north side of Montclair, developed before the '20s; south of Montclair was open land until the '20s, when stucco bungalows like 2878 Edgehill began to go up there.
