Sharing much of the history of Hollywood, Spaulding Square was developed in the 1920s. The Square was named after California architect, Albert Spaulding, who developed the eight block area between 1916 and 1926. Most of the early residents were silent film stars and directors.[1]
In 1993, Spaulding Square was designated a Historic Preservation Overlay Zone (HPOZ) by the city of Los Angeles, with the object to preserve the historic architecture found in the community.
