Elaborate and eclectic architecture spreads throughout Los Angeles. It was the 1880s and the height of the Industrial Revolution. A world of knowledge and ideas was rapidly unfolding, mixing old and new, foreign and familiar. European design ideas were embraced wholly and without reserve. Transportation technology improved and expanded at a fantastic rate opening the door to the West to people from all around the globe. Factories utilizing recent advances in industrial technology were turning out mass produced goods at prices affordable to the growing 'middle class.' This, combined with the great Southern California Land Boom of the 1880s, resulted in a proliferation of elaborate and eclectic architecture throughout Los Angeles as demonstrated here. Situated at the top of Mount Royal Drive in Eagle Rock, this 1888 Queen Anne style home exemplifies the wealth that was arriving to southern California and in particular Los Angeles. Today it stands as a testament to fantastical architecture that has endured through the ages.
