Dingbat House in Mar Vista

Dingbat House in Mar VistaAnother Dingbat House from my long running series. Fun fact: these buildings are both charming and controversial in LA. Half the population wants them torn down due to the risks they pose in an earthquake, theyre essentially just overhangs with minimal structural support, while the other half wants to preserve them as an iconic part of the citys architectural history.

it’s been a long-time bucket list item for me

while the other half wants to preserve them as an iconic part of the city’s architectural history

It still does
