Edward Alexander Kelley Hackett House

One story

1. An early home on Westlake Avenue

   The Edward Alexander Kelley Hackett House was built in the early 1900s on Westlake Avenue in Los Angeles. It stood in the Pico-Union neighborhood, on the stretch of Westlake between Alvarado Street and Pico Boulevard. The house may have been the first built along that part of the avenue. Its early construction placed it near the beginning of the residential history of that particular stretch, though its place as the first house was uncertain. The home rose two and a half stories and was designed in the early Arts and Crafts style. Its Craftsman architecture remained well preserved a century after it was built. That surviving design became the basis for the house’s recognition as a historic Los Angeles home, and it was added to the National Register in May 2003.
