Summary Statement of Significance
As a result of exterior investigation, archival research, and context development, it is found that 846 S. Longwood
Avenue appears to have been associated with Brookside’s historical development during the 1920s and 30s. As
the neighborhood got going in 1921, when the Rimpau Estate Company began to sell home sites. It also have been
associated with architect Earl Le Moine. Besides, French Normandy style is an important architecture style.
Additionally, although 846 S. Longwood has been altered, it retains sufficient integrity to convey its significance.
However, it did not make a significant contribution to the local history. Meanwhile, Earl Le Moine is not an
important people to the past. Besides, 846 S. Longwood Avenue does not embody the distinctive characteristics of
the French Normandy style. Therefore, 846 S.Longwood Avenue is not eligible for listing in the California
Register.
The following analysis outlines how this determination was made.

Early Development of Brookside
The property at 846 S. Longwood Avenue is located in Brookside area, Mid-Whishire neighborhood in Los
Angeles County. Brookside is bounded by Wilshire and Olympic Boulevards, Highland Avenue and Muirfield
Road. Mid-Whishire has abundant historic preservation zones and historic cultural monuments, such as Hancock

Park and Fremont Place, Windsor Square and Windsor Village. All of them constitute the greater Rancho La Brea
area.
The Rancho La Brea area was discovered in 1769. In 1828, Antonio Jose Rocha got a land grant by Mexico
Governor Carrillo. Then it was purchased by Henry Hancock who obtained profit from oil in this area.
Afterwards, The construction of the homes in Windsor Square and Fremont place began in 1910. The
development of Hancock and Brookside started from 1921.
Brookside was named “Windsor Crest”. In order to lure wealthy family, it was originally developed by Rimpau
Estate Company 1921. Although there was the economic downtown at that time, house properties and lands sold
well. As there is a natural stream, which is the Arroyo de los Jardines, flows through this area, so it became well-
known as Brookside.
People
In 1925, French architect Earl Le Moine started to build this Chateau LeMoine as a birthday gift for his wife. His
wife fell in love with the land and its pretty brook. Consequently, several years later, the architect surprised her
with a chateau resembling those in their native south of France.
Architecture
No. 846 S Longwood Avenue was constructed in French Normandy style. It is a Moorish-style Scottish-
influenced castle. French Normandy style itself is a unique architecture style. It was originated in the Normandy
area of Frence where house and barn were one building. So the turret was used for storage of grain. After the
World War I, American romanticized the traditional French farmhouse, creating a style known as French
Normandy.
The hallmarks of the French Normandy style are asymmetrical facade and large chimney, high roof and central
turret, half-timber decoration and brick or stone wall with stucco. Besides, it usually has one and one-half or two
and one-half story.
Residence at 846 S. Longwood avenue is a modest example of the French Normandy style with the following
character defining features: asymmetrical facade and a large brick chimney on the rear elevation, steeply-pitched
roof and central turret, half-timber decoration, wood frame structure rests on a stone or concrete foundation and

are faced with stucco. Additionally, it is a two and one-half story.
846 S. Longwood Avenue is the only French Normandy style residence in Brookside. Additionally, French
Normandy style is important for Los Angeles city as well. During 1900-1925, Early Los Angeles has plenty of
famous historic buildings, such as the Pico House, the Beaux Arts building, May Co. Building, Philharmonic
Auditorium Building. However, seldom of them are French Normandy style. Meanwhile, French style was
becoming a popular vernacular architecture style around 1900 CE in California. So the 846 S. Longwood Avenue
witnessed and influenced the development of French Normandy style in this area.
Evaluation of Significance:
California Register of Historical Resources
Upon evaluation of 846 S. Longwood Avenue against Californian Register eligibility criteria, it is found that the
property does not have potential significance under the California Register eligibility criteria. The following
analysis outlines how this determination was made.
Associated with events that have made a significant contribution to the broad patterns of local or regional history
or the cultural heritage of California or the United States (Criterion 1).
The property at 846 S. Longwood avenue was constructed in 1925, which has indirect association with the early
development of the Brookside and Hancock Park. Henry Hancock made profit from oil in Rancho La Brea area.
Afterwards, he purchased the land and his family contributed to the development of this area. Then, Rimpau
Estate Company sold house properties very well around 1920s, even though it was a difficult period with
recessionary economy. The property at 846 S. Longwood avenue was not built casually, it is not only a result of
the early development of these area, but also witnessed and contributed to the early development of the
community.
However, early development of Brookside did not make a significant contribution to the regional history. Besides,
846 S. Longwood Avenue lacks the strong and direct association with the early development of the Mid-Whishire.
Therefore, 846 S. Longwood avenue does not appear to be eligible under Criterion 1 of the California Register.
Associated with the lives of persons important to local, California or national history (Criterion 2).

CONTINUATION SHEET
Page 10 of 19
The original owner of property at 846 S. Longwood Avenue is Earl LeMoine. In 1956, Mr. Gilreath is listed as the
property owner in the building permit. In 2009, Dimitri Chami became the owner. Meanwhile, Kennedy John
Pools & Spas and Lacher, Todd Lee became the contractors, architects and engineers. Then, Gibbs, Brian M
became the owner on June 18, 2009 and Avalin Design-construction Co started to responsible for constructing. In
2013, Nett, Timothy R Tr Timothy R Net became the owner of the property. However, research did not indicate
that any of these individuals were important to the history of the Mid-Whishire, Los Angeles County or
California.
Therefore, 846 S. Longwood does not appear to have significance under Criteria 2 of the California Register.
Embodies the distinctive characteristics of a type, period, region or method of construction or represents the work
of a master or possesses high artistic values (Criterion 3).
The property at 846 S. Longwood Avenue was originally constructed in 1925 in the French Normandy style. It has
the asymmetrical facade and large chimney, high roof and central turret, half-timber decoration and brick or stone
wall with stucco. It also has casement window and French arched door. Besides, The building is a typical example
of the French Normandy style. The alteration focus on the material and interior without damaging its defining
characteristics.
Although 846 S. Longwood avenue is a good vernacular architecture with unique French Normandy style.
However, it does not embody the distinctive characteristics of the French Normandy style.
Therefore, 846 S. Longwood does not appear to have significance under Criteria 3 of the California Register.
Has yielded, or has the potential to yield, information important to the prehistory or history of the local area,
California or the nation (Criterion 4)
An assessment of archeological resources was not completed for the purposes of this evaluation.

integrity to convey its significance, which is evaluated in regard to the retention of location, design, setting,
materials, workmanship, feeling and association. The California Register requires that a resource retain enough of
its historic character or appearance to be recognized as a historical resource and to convey the reasons for its

Constructed circa 1925. Although 846 S.Longwood Avenue has undergone numerous alterations, most of the
elements that originally conveyed the building’s style have not been removed. Alterations include changing the
material of the roof, siding, doors and windows, adding a pool in the front garden and extra room in the rear
elevation. However, these alterations have not compromised its overall integrity of design and the building is still
able to convey its original design intent and French Normandy style.
Setting
Setting is the physical environment of an historic property, constituting topographic features, vegetation,
manmade features, and relationship between buildings or open space.
The subject property is located on the north side of the W9th street, between S. Longwood Avenue and S.
Tremaine avenue. This block does not change a lot according to the Sanborn Maps. The property is in Mid-
Whishire which has abundant historic buildings, most of them still keep their 1920s-style. Besides, The Windsor
Square-Hancock Park Historical Society was founded in 1976, aiming for preserving and collecting the rich and
illustrious history of the Greater Rancho La Brea. Therefore, its integrity of setting has not been diminished.
Material:
Materials are the physical elements that were combined or deposited during a particular period of time and in a
particular pattern or configuration to form an historic property.
Although there are still lots of original materials remain in No 846 S. Longwood Avenue. Such as the wooden
balcony interior and the decoration pattern on the wall. The building does not retain its integrity of materials. Due
to the alterations of all windows and doors and a complete refinish of all exterior surfaces.

been compromised.
Feeling:
Feeling is a property’s experience of the aesthetic or historic sense of a particular of time.
No 846 S.Longwood Avenue has not changed in appearance over time. The building itself retains its original form
, defining characteristics and massing. It remains the feeling of a romantic gift and French Normandy style.
Association:
Association is the direct link between an important historic event or person and an historic property.
There is no association between the property and important historic events, people or historic properties,
However, 846 S. Longwood Avenue was built by Earl Le Moine. And there is still several original armorial
patterns on the facade with the name of “Earl Le Moine” on it. Therefore, it still can remind people of Earl Le
Moine and the early development of the Brookside.
In summary, 846 S. Longwood Avenue has retained its original location, design, setting, workmanship, feeling
,association and use. However, exterior alterations to the building, including adding the pool in the front garden
and change the materials of the windows and doors, compromising its materials.
Weighing all aspects together, 846 S. Longwood Avenue retains sufficient integrity to convey potential
significance.
Conclusion:
In summary, It does not have potential significance under California Register.

CONTINUATION SHEET
Page 13 of 19
The evaluation of significance indicates it is important to Brookside in local level, but lack the significance under
the criteria of California Register. The property appears to have been associated with the early development of
Brookside area, Hancock Park, greater Rancho La Brea area. However, development of Brookside did not make a
significant contribution to the regional history. Meanwhile, the property lacks strong and direct link with the early
development of Hancock Park or greater Rancho La Brea area. Although the property appears to have been
associated with architect Earl Le Moine, he is not an important person for the history. Additionally, French
Normandy style is one of the unique architecture style in California. But the property does not have a distinctive
characteristics of French Normandy style.
An analysis of the building’s integrity concludes that it retains its integrity of location, design, setting,
workmanship, feeling, association. As the property located near historic preservation zone and protected by the
Windsor Square-Hancock Park Historical Society. Besides, its alterations focus on interior and material. So it
remains its integrity, besides its integrity of materials has been compromised by the alteration of exterior
