We moved out 8-1-12 because it was bought by this guy to be turned into apartments but he has been told that due to its historical significance he can only fix it to its original version.

They all knew each other (Romaine Grand, Biscailuz and Carillo). The Pelliser family, the Foix (bakery) family, and the Taix (restaurant) family were also Boyle Heights Basque families in the early 1900's. The Leonis family of Calabasas were cousins of the Grands (the Grand family's original Basque name was "Hartacorina", but they anglicized it to "Grand"). John Grand, my grandfather, Romaine's son, was also a real estate investor and had a small grocery store at 1701 Brooklyn Avenue - corner of Boyle Avenue - for many years.Steve Phillipshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13590509222368726108noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3633816278415014207.post-31338326552655824002014-01-12T15:55:37.959-08:002014-01-12T15:55:37.959-08:00Sad to say as I type this the house at 1030 cesar ...Sad to say as I type this the house at 1030 cesar e chavez is a mess. Restoration without any permits, porch roof is missing, screen doors long discarded, bricks trashed and gone, sewage and electrical replaced etc. I filed a complaint with LADBS on 12/12/13, no one has been out yet. Department of city planning claims the property has no historical monument status or protection and gave me a copy of PPR much different than all the other sites have for his property and the carnage going on there is not that urgent. Maybe I didn't dot my i's or cross my t's and everything is status quo. Drive by and have a look.

Unfortunately, its looking a little shabby and it had a large For Sale sign on the lawn. The worrisome part was that it looked a like a commercial property sale sign. (I just did a quick search and haven't found a residential property listing) Does anyone else know what the status on this house is?<br /><br />I love the Italianate style, it very much reminds me of the Perry-Mt. Pleasant house that was once up the hill from this one and now at Heritage Square.<br /><br />Also, in answer to your first question, I know of one other Victorian home in LA that is made of brick/masonry. Its in Pico-Union at 1431 Valencia St. Its a fantastic one story Eastlake house with a large front porch. I haven't done research on the house, but it appears to currently house some sort of religious organization and Zillow says it was bulit in 1897. Not sure if this house has any sort of landmark or protection status, but I think it really should. Its a pretty unique house!Christian R.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3633816278415014207.post-86221998189375163032011-06-05T21:28:27.553-07:002011-06-05T21:28:27.553-07:00Thank you, La Prima Elisa.

From there we moved to a little street at the foot of the bridge that is the last overpass of the San Bernatdino freeway as it merges with the Sant anna freeway.I have just completed a collection of vignettes about growing up poor and Mexican during the Great Depression. I tell about walking over the Mamcy st. Bridge countless of times. Gathering wood scraps for our stove when the Union Station was being constructed. The trolley that traveled to and fro. Not intended as an Auto-biography my recollections cross ethnic lines,and seem to have a universal appeal. <br /><br />i would love to send you a vignette or two for your comments.<br />my em-- primaelisa!yahoo.com<br />please vistit My Blog at: www.primaelisa.wordpress.com<br />May i add that i am overawed by your work.
