1107 South Abbot Kinney Boulevard

The Wyckoff Residence is a rare example of early residential development on Abbot Kinney Boulevard, formerly West Washington Boulevard, associated with the early development of Venice of America, a pre-consolidation community in Los Angeles. It represents the early development patterns of Venice of America and pre-commercial street suburb that defined Abbot Kinney Boulevard from the 1920s onward.

It was constructed in1910 and exhibits character-defining features of Craftsman style. At the time of construction, the subject property was within Venice of America, an incorporated city that housed an internationally famous seaside amusement park and residential district along picturesque canals.

The property features a single-family residential building and a garage, which is located at

the northeastern corner of the property. A concrete driveway, accessed from Abbot Kinney Boulevard, leads to a wood fence that is setback from the south façade of the residence. A mature tree is located in the back yard behind the residence. A low wood fence surrounds the perimeter of the front yard. A brick path leads from the side walk along the north side of Abbot Kinney Boulevard to the porch and primary entrance to the residence.

The Wyckoff Residence became Los Angeles Historic-Cultural Monument # 1232 on 6/23/2021.
