Windsor Square
Windsor Square Envisioned by financier George A.J. Howard in the early 1900s as a tranquil park with an English countryside feeling, and with the efforts of developer Robert A. Rowan, Windsor Square was created. The English flavor of this area is evident even in the street names: Irving, Windsor and Plymouth. The development was centered around a private square, surrounded by privately owned homes and the streets. Windsor Square was the first area in the city to have its power lines underground, an extraordinary innovation for 1911. To ensure that the homes were significantly upscale as befitted the exceptionally beautiful setting, deed restrictions were set at a minimum cost of $12,550 per home, an enormous amount at the time. Windsor Square consists today of just over 1,000 mostly Craftsman and California Bungalow style homes that have the same historic value as in Hancock Park, but most of the homes here are on a slightly smaller scale and built on smaller lots. Many outstanding architects designed homes for the area including Paul Williams and A.C. Martin. With its authentic architecture, broad lawns, mature, tree-lined streets and central location five miles west of downtown, the demand to live in Windsor Square is rising as Downtown Los Angeles experiences an economic Renaissance.
Boundaries: East of Hancock Park, Windsor Square boundaries run from Wilshire to Beverly Boulevard, South to North and from Arden Boulevard to Van Ness Avenue, East to West adjacent to the one-block strip of the Larchmont Village.
