Property Description

AS LISTED AND DESCRIBED IN THE U. S. DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR NATIONAL REGISTER OF HISTORIC PLACES: “1340 Carroll Avenue, a large residence constructed shortly after the turn of the century, provides contrast to the Victorians on the street. It is clearly representative of the first distinctly Californian architecture since the Spanish period, with its lower roof, and simpler lines. This craftsman house has an oriental air with a slight upsweep of the roof eaves, the style being influenced by the Japanese pagoda of the World’s Fair. This tranquil but solid residence has precise spooled stone porch posts. All of the interior woodwork is intact and in excellent condition. The residence has always been devoted to single-family use. “ COMMENTS ON THE RECENT MULTI-YEAR RESTORATION: The restoration was focused on retaining the home’s original materials, details and lighting with a goal to preserve this jewel for another 100 years for the benefit of the neighborhood. The home bridges the Victorian to Craftsman styles with features that are clearly Victorian but with ceilings lowered to the modern 9’. The Thomas House has wonderful views from every window of neighboring historic Victorian homes and Downtown Los Angeles.
