L.A. Witmer Historical Estate On Market For 1st Time In 100 Years

LOS ANGELES, CA — Hitting the market for the first time in a century is the Witmer Estate in Los Angeles — a 5,400-square-foot, family compound built in 1921 by famed architect David Witmer, whose career credits also include the Pentagon in Arlington, VA.

This piece of Los Angeles architectural history is listed as an LA Historic Cultural Monument (#538), which for buyers could mean potential tax savings through the Mills Act property tax reduction program.

Priced at nearly $5 million, the gated Witmer Estate, near Echo Park, features four residences — three single-family homes and a studio apartment — for a combined total of eight bedrooms, five baths and 5,437 square feet.

Witmer, who died in 1973, designed his family home in a Mediterranean/Spanish style. Other area projects attributed to Witmer include Crownwood Flats apartments in Los Angeles, the Rojer Emmons House in South Pasadena, Huber House in Arcadia and L.A.'s Sutherland House.
