Gutters for Del Rey’s postwar blocks near Ballona Creek

Del Rey sits low on the old Ballona flats, between Culver Boulevard, Centinela Avenue and the concrete channel of Ballona Creek. This was farm and dairy land into the 1940s, and most of the houses you see on Braddock Drive, Inglewood Boulevard and the side streets around Bill Rosendahl Del Rey Park on Alla Road went up in the postwar boom of the late 1940s and early 1950s. That means a lot of single-story homes with long, low eaves, original fascia boards and gutters that have been patched more than once. About 32,000 people live on 2.7 square miles here, so lots are tight and a downspout often empties right beside a driveway or a neighbor’s fence.

The street trees tell you what ends up in the gutters. StreetsLA’s count puts queen palm first, followed by jacaranda, southern magnolia, Mexican fan palm and lemon bottlebrush. Palms drop fronds, fruit and flower stalks, magnolias shed big leathery leaves all year, and jacaranda bloom turns to sticky mush in late spring. Rain is light most of the year, about 14 inches at the nearby NOAA station, but most of it falls from December through February. When it does, flat lots near the creek have nowhere for overflow to go. Ballona Creek was straightened and paved in 1935 after years of flooding, and it still takes runoff from about 130 square miles on its way to the bay.
