553 North Heliotrope has been minding her own business since 1914, when Albert Beach Crist designed and built her. Meet her now, before Los Angeles decides she's in the way.
Presenting 553 North Heliotrope.
She has been minding her own business since 1914, when she was designed and built by Albert Beach Crist.
553 made a neat new friend when a two-story duplex was built next door in 1927! He was cool, taller than she was, and had some different style, but they got along real well.
They were pals for more than 90 years when some mean men came and killed her friend, even chopping up and destroying his body.
They built a mean new ugly brute next to her! “Gosh, I hope that doesn’t happen to me,” said 553. The last thing she saw before they nailed up her eyes was the horrid new monster glaring down at her, smirking, its awful orange blotches making it appear covered in disease.
Then the mean men came for her, and she said a little prayer for herself, and for her friend already gone, hoping they would go to a better place.
