Summary[edit]

Description
English: KNOW YOUR CITY, NO. 54 -- This ornate old house (now painted light green) is seen by tens of thousands every day. Unfortunately, its origin and history are obscured by many owners and alterations. Just a landmark.


ANSWER: Anyone who has ever traveled the freeways surely has noticed the old mansion, now converted into a rooming house. Its address is 1012 W Temple St., but it can be readily seen from the four-level structure of the freeways. If is just off southbound lanes of the Harbor Freeway and it curves off the Hollywood Freeway. Recognize it now, don't you?

The Rochester was declared a historical-cultural monument by the city of Los Angeles on January 4, 1963 but was demolished in 1979.
