Ed Doheny Sr. House in West Adams



This was Mr. & Mrs. Ed Doheny senior's 'modest' home in the West Adams Districts of Los Angeles, not too far from the St. Vincent Church that Mr Doheny funded. The neighborhood the home is in is called Chester Place, a gated community of palatial estates built by the founding families of modern Los Angeles. I am absoloutely lost as far as the architecture of the home goes. We can definitely put it under the 'Victorian' umbrella. And it has heavy Tudor & Gothic influences, so it could be considered Gothic Revival in some aspects. But the tile roof is throwing me off.
The home, and the rest of the neighborhood, is now occupied by Mount St. Mary's College.
