Victorian Homes : Angelino Heights

Angelino Heights located near the Echo Park area, is a unique and a well preserved section of Victorian-era homes . You can also see, from the distance, the skyline of downtown Los Angeles.

More than 50 homes in the area have different architectural styles, such as Queen Anne and Eastlake Victorian Mission Revival, Crafts,am/California Bungalow, Brownstone and Streamline Modern.

I do not know which ones, but two of these homes were used as sets for some TV shows such as Charmed and Journeyman.

All photos were taken along Carroll Avenue

The 1300 block of Carroll Avenue is listed on the National Register of Historic Places, and in 1983 the entire area was declared as Los Angeles’ first historic district.
