Who knew there was a quaint historic district of LA called
Hermon? I certainly did not... until a friend took me there the other day for a walk-about. It was quite a treat. The neighborhood once featured an elevated bicycle "freeway" which served as a pre-automobile through-way between downtown Los Angeles and Pasadena in the late 1800s/early 1900s. Today all that remains of the "
cycleway" is a set of old
stairs.
Officially established in 1903, Hermon boasts a quaint downtown business district, lovely historic homes, several schools and fantastic
public parks...and most importantly, maintains a small-town feel despite it's central location.
Check out some gorgeous area homes after the jump:

One more thing, Hermon is a hop, skip + a jump from historic Debs Park and Audubon Center so you can make an entire day out of house gazing, bird watching and trail blazing!
