CHC-2017-4770-HCM 423-427 N. Hayworth Avenue Page 2 of 2 SUMMARY The 1936 Spinning Wheel Apartments is a multi-family residential building located at 423-427 North Hayworth Avenue in the Fairfax District of Los Angeles, one block west of Fairfax Avenue. The subject property was designed in the French Norman Revival style by architect David C. Coleman for the Spinning Wheel Corporation. Originally, the Spinning Wheel Apartments was constructed as one of two mirror-image structures that, together, framed a garden court; the second structure was demolished in 2015. The Spinning Wheel Apartments consists of an asymmetrical, two-story structure with four units in a U-shaped plan and a cross gabled four car garage located at the rear of the property. The exterior of the primary structure features two corbelled towers on the front façade with a small, gabled decorative pediment; a tall, slightly sloped hipped roof; vertical arched vents along each façade; wood casement windows; regency style bay windows; leaded glass fixed pane windows with colored inserts; decorative arch reliefs; and quoins. The interiors of the individual units showcase hardwood floors; detailed crown moldings; gambrel doorways; plastered mantels; original lighting fixtures; and original tiled kitchens and bathrooms. Based on permit records there appear to have been only minor alterations to the subject property that include the addition of security bars to the windows of the first floor units in 1991. CRITERIA The criterion is the Cultural Heritage Ordinance which defines a historical or cultural monument as any site (including significant trees or other plant life located thereon) building or structure of particular historic or cultural significance to the City of Los Angeles, such as historic structures or sites in which the broad cultural, economic, or social history of the nation, State or community is reflected or exemplified, or which are identified with historic personages or with important events in the main currents of national, State or local history or which embody the distinguishing characteristics of an architectural type specimen, inherently valuable for a study of a period style or method of construction, or a notable work of a master builder, designer or architect whose individual genius influenced his age. FINDINGS Based on the facts set forth in the summary and application, the Commission determines that the application is complete and that the property may be significant enough to warrant further investigation as a potential Historic-Cultural Monument.

Spinning Wheel Apartments
Architectural Description
This 2-story 4-unit apartment building is designed asymmetrically in the French-
Normandy style with Chateauesque influence with two corbelled towers on the
front facade, the first at the Southeast corner and the other at a bump-out to the
right center of the facade. The roof is a tall slightly sloped parapet with a small
gabled decorative pediment between the two towers and vertical arched vents
spread along each facade. The shallow U-Shaped building is more symmetrical on
the South facade, where it originally faced a twin that was demolished in 2015.
The two second-story units are serviced by two-flight staircases along the inside of
each U with delicate steel railings.
Architectural details include wood casement windows, a first-story regency style
bay on the left plane of the front facade, with the right plane being slightly
forward. Quoins decorate the three front corners. Leaded glass fixed pane
windows with colored inserts are at the second floor level above the bay. Two
bays are on the South facade. Reliefs of vertical rectangles are found on the sides
of that bay, below the windows, with a circle in the center plane. The bays flank
an enclosed decorative arch relief, which is between two square pilasters with
Egyptian Papyrus-covered capitals under a freeze with simple "Sun disks" above
the capitals. The freeze is topped with a small oval shield surrounded by flowers.
A small balcony is near the center of the North facade, as are two enclosed sets of
secondary stairs serving to the two upper units.
The one alteration is the addition of burglar bars to the windows on the first floor
units.
A cross gabled four car garage is set at the rear of the property.
Interior features include hardwood floors, detailed crown moldings, gambrel
doorways, plastered mantles with a central shield, original lighting fixtures and
original tiled kitchens and bathrooms.
Spinning Wheel Apartments
423-7 N. Hayworth Avenue
Significance Statement
Built in 1936 by the Spinning Wheel Corporation, this four-unit apartment building was one of
several built by this owner in different parts of Los Angeles. The buildings each followed their
own design scheme, this project using the French Normandy style with a Chateauesque
influence. The building is indicative of the type of quality development being done in the
Fairfax area in the immediate years prior to the second World War, when it was rapidly
becoming the new Jewish section in Los Angeles, quickly eclipsing and eventually replacing the
historic Boyle Heights as the home of the Los Angeles Jewish community.
It was the Northern building with a mirror image twin immediately to the South. Together the
two buildings framed a garden area. An announcement in the Los Angeles Times on September
16, 1936 stated: “Plans have been completed for two apartment structures at 419-21½ and 425-
27½ North Hayworth avenue for the Spinning Wheel Corporation. David C. Coleman is the
architect. Each building will be two stories in height and will contain sixteen rooms divided into
four apartments. The cost will be $20,000.”
The apartment building is located one block to the West of Fairfax Avenue, directly to the West
of Canter’s Deli. The subdivision, Tract No. 6790, was laid out in 1923 by the A. F. Gilmore
Company, the creators of the Farmers Market (HCM #543), in partnership with the Security
Trust and Savings Bank. The land was a part of the Gilmore holdings in the Salt Lake Oil Field,
on land that Gilmore had previously operated as a dairy farm. By the 1920s the real estate values
had reached such a point that the land was worth more for housing than oil.
G. Allen Hancock had already subdivided his mother’s holdings into Hancock Park and the
pressure for development to go West was heavy. By the mid-1920s the Fairfax district was hot.
However, most of the construction was to the East of Fairfax Boulevard, leaving Tract No. 6790
almost devoid of housing by the end of the decade. Then came the Great Depression, which
slowed down the development of single-family homes in the area. The lots on Hayworth Avenue
were to remain relatively vacant until the mid-1930s. The Spinning Wheel project was one of
the first to come in during that period. The street eventually became almost entirely multi-family
housing as the Jewish influx to the area grew. The context statement for survey LA reviews this
history and the section dealing with the Beverly-Fairfax area is attached as an addendum to this
document.
The statement specifically calls out the Beverly Square (Tract No. 7944) neighborhood located
just South of Beverly Boulevard from Tract No. 6790. Both tracts were subdivided by the
Gilmore Company in the mid 1920s and experienced the same development patterns. The
survey did not review the subject building, but the Hollywood survey picked up a similar one at
825 N Edinburgh Avenue, giving it a 3S,3CS,5S3 rating, referring to it as an "excellent example
of French Norman Revival multi-family residential architecture in Hollywood." An email from
Kari Fowler of Historic Resources Group, which did the Hollywood survey, notes the similarities
and high rate of historic integrity between the two buildings. She also states that "an HCM
nomination is worth pursuing, particularly due to the intact interior features that could contribute
to a local designation."
Many of the new residents came from Europe, especially people who chose to leave those areas
that were rapidly coming under the heel of Hitler’s National Socialism. By 1936, there was a
need for housing and new projects, such as the Spinning Wheel Apartments began to meet that
need. The Lots, 273 and 274 had first been sold to Raymond J. Eliot in the mid-1920s. Not
much has been found on Eliot, but he then deeded the property to James Joseph Anton, who was
a long term resident of the Los Angeles area. Born in 1890, he had married his wife, Lillian
Stein, at the old sandstone courthouse in Santa Ana, on March 29, 1909. It appears that they
were thwarted from building on the lots by the stock market crash in October 1929.
The Antons sold the lots to Raymond D. Currier, but the new owner passed away suddenly on
December 1, 1931, leaving it to his wife, Augusta. She retained the properties through the
depths of the Great Depression, eventually selling them to the Spinning Wheel Corporation on
September 16, 1936. The building permits for the construction of the two buildings were taken
out the same day. The design by Architect David C. Coleman, did four large units in each
building. The buildings had spacious well-appointed units the size of many houses with the two
bedroom units at 1,700 square feet and one bedrooms at 1,500 square feet. The French
Normandy design was also unique, with the Chateauesque turrets on the front of each building.
The buildings were quickly filled and then sold to owners who lived in each of the buildings,
renting out the remaining units. The building at 423-27½ was sold to Harry and Esther Jenkins
on December 6, 1939. Jenkins and wife ran a drug store in Boyle Heights, while living nearby at
2020 Pennsylvania Avenue. They were part of an influx of Yiddish-speaking Russian Jewish
immigrants that had come to that community at the turn of the 20th
Century. By the late 1930s,
they saw the exodus to Fairfax and bought the apartment as an investment and a place to live
when they retired. By the late 1940’s they had relocated to the apartment, living in it until
Harry’s death in July 1963. The 1956 reverse phone directory shows the owner living at 427 N.
Hayworth. The other units were occupied by Jewish immigrants, as well:
Ike Bennie Fingerett was born in Romanou, Russia on February 24, 1891, arriving in the United
States on July 14, 1910 in Philadelphia and settling in Pittsburgh, where he worked as a baker.
He and his wife, Ethel (also from Russia) were living on Matthews Street in Boyle Heights by
1935 and moved to the Spinning Wheel Apartments sometime after 1940. In 1956 they were
living at 423 N. Hayworth Avenue.
Edna Eisner was living at 425 (now 423½) N. Hayworth Avenue. Records show that she and her
husband, Samuel, a tailor, were living at 435½ N. Orange Grove in 1942. Records note that
Samuel was born in "other country" on his death notification in 1950. Edna probably relocated
to the Spinning Wheel Apartment sometime after Samuel's death. The records are very sketchy
on the Eisner's background, but it appears that they arrived in the Fairfax District sometime
around 1940. It is very possible that they came here after the annexation of Austria the German
Reich in 1938.
The background of Pauline Weiner, who lived at 427½ N. Hayworth, is not readily deciphered,
as her name is fairly common and she has not left enough of a historic footprint to be
distinguished from other women with the same name from the Los Angeles area.
The building was deeded to Irving and Margit Ecker on January 3, 1964. The Eckers had been
refugees who fled from Budapest, Hungary after the collapse of the 1956 revolution against the
Communist regime there. After first arriving in New York on January 16, 1957, the family came
to Los Angeles to live near their married daughter, Eva. Irving, whose birth name was Ignacz
Ecker, was born in Sataralyachyhely, Hungary on November 27, 1910 and took up his
occupation as a tailor once settled in the United States. His wife, the former Margit Neumann,
was born in Bihar, Hungary on September 29, 1905. The couple were naturalized on January 25,
1963.
After Irving’s death on September 20, 1996, Margit continued to live in her apartment until her
passing on March 10, 2007 (at 101 years of age). The building then went to Eva and her
husband, Abraham Leopold Langer. Abraham was also a refugee, arriving in New York from
his native Czechoslovakia on August 3, 1948. During World War II. he and his family were
imprisoned at the Auschwitz death camp in Poland. Abraham was the only survivor, being
liberated by the Russians in 1945. The couple were married in Brooklyn, NY on March 9, 1958.
They came to Los Angeles around 1960. The Langer’s retained the building until they felt
pressured to sell as the street was rapidly changing with large new buildings crowding out many
of the historic ones, including the other Spinning Wheel building immediately to the South.
The Spinning Wheel Apartments are an important architectural type specimen of the French
Normandy design, as well as one of the earliest apartments to be built as the area became the
new Los Angeles Jewish community. From 1938 until 2015, the building was always owned by
Jewish immigrants who had come to the United States in search of a better life.

Subject: 423 N. Hayworth
Hello, Dee Ann:
It was nice speaking with you yesterday. I took a closer look at your building and the building on
Edinburgh, and I concur that the two buildings are quite similar and appear to have a similarly high
level of historic integrity. The Edinburgh building is located in the Hollywood Community Plan Area,
which we surveyed, and we did indeed evaluate it as locally eligible as an “excellent example of French
Norman Revival multi‐family residential architecture in Hollywood.” Interestingly, the building at 423
N. Hayworth is located in the Wilshire Community Plan Area, which was surveyed by Katie Horak’s
1irm (whom you spoke with). So I can’t speak directly to why it wasn’t picked up; they may have had a
higher threshold in their area versus ours.
In any case, I agree that an HCM nomination is worth pursuing, particularly due to the intact interior
features that could contribute to a local designation. Ordinarily, this is something we could help you
with. Although, due to our current workload it’s not something we would be able to get to right away.
And given your current circumstance you probably need to get this going sooner than later. .
Hope this helpful and best of luck to you!
‐Kari
