The North University Park Historic District is a historic district in the North University Park section of Los Angeles, California. The district is bounded by West Adams Boulevard on the north, Magnolia Avenue on the west, Hoover Street on the east, and 28th Street on the south. The district contains numerous well-preserved Victorian houses dating back as far as 1880. In 2004, the district was added to the National Register of Historic Places.
The North University Park area was subdivided between 1885 and 1901. The Miller and Herriott House, which is still standing, is believed to have been a model house used by the developers to attract potential buyers. The area boomed further when the street cars from downtown reached the area in 1891. In 1892, the widow of Gen. John C. Fremont, Jessie Benton Fremont, was living in the district at 1107 West 28th Street; she remained in the house until 1902. The district was also the birthplace of Adlai Stevenson, who was born in the house at 2639 Monmouth Avenue in 1900.
Many of the homes within the district are noteworthy, including the following:
