Lafayette Square, Los Angeles
LaFayette Square is a historic and affluent semi-gated neighborhood in the central region of Los Angeles, California.〔http://www.kcet.org/socal/departures/landofsunshine/whats-in-a-street-name/crenshaw-boulevard-cruising-through-the-decades.html〕
Although founded in 1913 by developer George LaFayette Crenshaw, it is named after the French marquis who fought alongside Colonists in the American Revolution.〔http://articles.latimes.com/2003/feb/09/realestate/re-guide9〕 It sits just off of Crenshaw Boulevard in the Mid-City area. It was designated by the city as a Los Angeles Historic Preservation Overlay Zone in 2000 for its significant residential architecture and history.
==History==
According to the Los Angeles Conservancy, "LaFayette Square was the last and greatest of banker George L. Crenshaw's ten residential developments in the City of Los Angeles."〔Los Angeles Conservancy, ''Los Angeles' Historic Preservation Overlay Zones'', 2002, pp. 14-15.〕 Around the turn of the twentieth century, there was a large oil boom in southern California: Between the extraordinary climate that California had to offer and the rich resources that provided jobs to the oil and agricultural industries, the state experienced great population booms. In Los Angeles, Crenshaw invested in and oversaw the development of ten residential real estate ventures to help satiate the population growth.
LaFayette Square was founded in 1913 and developed during the early 20th century.〔 Wrought-iron gates surrounding the district are a relatively recent addition, coming only in 1989. The addition of the iron gates eliminated cut-through commuter traffic; the only way into the neighborhood is through St. Charles Place.
