Winemakers' old home gets a facelift

The Angona residence (1889) on McDuff street recently underwent a thorough renovation that included new wood windows as well as a soothing coat of blue paint. A purple grape color might have been more appropriate (but not as tasteful) given the home's history. The house is named after Cono and Antonia Angona, who settled here north of Sunset Boulevard when the area was still primarily open fields or used for farming and ranching. The family made wine here from 1900 1910, importing grapes from the San FernandoValley. We are happy to see that the new owners were respectful of this home's historic character and charm.
