Carthay Circle Gutter Solutionists

Gutters for Carthay’s three historic districts

Carthay is really three neighborhoods. J. Harvey McCarthy launched Carthay Center in 1922 on 136 acres between Wilshire and Olympic, one of the first planned communities in Los Angeles and the first in the city built with underground utilities. Many of its streets were named for Gold Rush figures, and the Pioneer statue, built as part of a park fountain, went up in 1924. South of Olympic, Spyros George Ponty began South Carthay in the early 1930s on former produce fields, designing 147 Spanish Colonial Revival homes. Carthay Square, between South Carthay and Fairfax Avenue, filled in during the 1920s and 1930s. All three are city HPOZs, and together they were listed on the National Register as one district in 2022.

For gutters, the architecture is the whole job. Carthay Circle homes were each designed by an architect, so no two rooflines match, and the styles run from Spanish Colonial Revival to Tudor, Monterey and French Eclectic. Red clay tile, stucco walls and wrought iron are standard in South Carthay. Tile eaves need hangers set so they do not crack or lift the tile, and flat roof sections drain through scuppers that clog with leaves. The parkway trees across this part of town lean toward southern magnolia, jacaranda and London plane, so there is something falling in every season. NOAA’s Culver City station, a few miles southwest, records 9.20 inches of its yearly rain from December through February alone.

The Brothers That Just Do Gutters Los Angeles belongs to local owner Robinson O’Brien-Bours, and Carthay sits next to Pico-Robertson and Mid-City, two areas we already cover. On HPOZ houses we keep gutters discreet, offer copper and colors that match the trim, rebuild soft fascia and run downspouts where they fade into the facade.
