Gutters for the Miracle Mile’s 1920s blocks

Most people know the Miracle Mile for Wilshire Boulevard, the museums and the La Brea Tar Pits, where George Allan Hancock gave 23 acres to the county in 1924. Most of the homes sit just south of all that. The Miracle Mile HPOZ takes in 1,347 properties from Orange Grove Avenue east to La Brea, and its building boom ran hardest from 1922 to 1930. North of Olympic, streets like Masselin, Cochran, Hauser and Curson are lined mostly with one-story houses, with Spanish Colonial Revival by far the most common style and English Tudor second. Up near Third Street, the Miracle Mile North district along Detroit and Gardner was built out mainly between 1924 and 1941.

Those houses are a century old now, and the city’s survey notes that much of the original clay tile and wood shingle has been swapped for composition roofing over the years. That usually means gutters, fascia and downspouts were patched in different decades, with mismatched sections and outlets in odd places. The mature parkway trees here are ficus, jacaranda and sycamore, so expect sticky ficus fruit, purple spring bloom and broad sycamore leaves that cup water and block a downspout fast. Downtown’s NOAA station averages about 21 days a year with a tenth of an inch of rain or more, and about nine tenths of the yearly total falls from November through April.

Owner Robinson O’Brien-Bours runs The Brothers That Just Do Gutters Los Angeles, and our crews cover the Miracle Mile along with Hancock Park and Mid-City. We replace mismatched old runs with one seamless system formed on-site, rebuild soft fascia, clean by hand and fit BroGuard under ficus and sycamore. On HPOZ homes we keep profiles and colors in step with the house. The work is done under California contractor license 1140218, and we are bonded and insured.
