This conversation explores efforts to survey and preserve postwar speculative neighborhood developments in Los Angeles, including SurveyLA, the multi-year effort of the City of Los Angeles’ Office of Historic Resources and the Getty Foundation to identify and record historic resources in the city, and the use of a custom-designed, GIS-based platform to survey an area comprising 466 square miles, 880,000 legal parcels: the Mid-Century Modern and ranch-style developments of Baldwin Hills Estates, Joseph Eichler’s Balboa Highlands, Palmer & Krisel’s Corbin Palms, and the ranch houses of the San Fernando Valley.
