Lake Shore Rehab

Lake Shore Rehab
Originally uploaded by Historic Echo Park.

This house has always stood out on on Lakeshore Avenue between Berkley and Gateways hospital because of some enormous double hung windows (they slide up and down) and a farm-house feel. The property is currently undergoing a major renovation and expansion. The good news is that they have restored the wood siding and ENORMOUS wood windows (they look at least six feet tall in the dormers). The bad news is that addition in the back (not seen in the pictures) looks like pretty much tacked on. Overall, though, this renovation we hope triggers some other thoughtful remodeling on this stretch of Lakeshore.
