Thanks Tovangar2, BifRayRock, and Gaylord Wilshire. Appreciate all the info on 202 N Westlake Ave!
The permit I found to move the house in 1925 says it was moved from "between Court St and W 1st Street" to 202 N Westlake Ave.
If I google Court and West 1st it takes me to a spot downtown next to the current DWP. (Part of old Bunker Hill)
I found old maps of downtown that have court street running uninterrupted to city hall. (Hope I've added images properly)
But as you say, not certain that's where it was moved from.
I didn't think there were too many craftsman places on Bunker Hill, and haven't found any photos that show this house there, but if anyone knows of any historical photos of this house, I would be incredibly grateful.
It really is a cool house, with a great vibe and view. We love it and can't wait to restore it. It also was clearly cut in half in order to be moved. There is a line running right through the wood floor and all moulding. Wish there were a pic of it while in process of being moved!
I think the real estate listing may have conflated the history of the pink house that Thomas Thurman also moved in 1925 from Normandie and that's why they thought it was originally in Hollywood? I'm not sure. But I can definitely picture it as a Jazz/party house at some point in it's history.
And btw, the gravestone that you showed is definitely the same Thomas Thurman. I found records through calisphere.org and rescarta. They also mention quebec street.
Any other insights into the history of the house (or photos esp) are greatly appreciated!
Hope I'm posting these images correctly:
