Echo Park is a densely populated neighborhood of over 43,000 residents in Central Los Angeles. It contains one high school and eight other schools, and has been home to many notable people. The neighborhood is centered on the lake of the same name.Before Echo Park was in the Hipster Triangle, it was in Edendale. The small historic district north of Los Angeles encompassed what we know now as Los Feliz, Silver Lake, and Echo Park, and it was the epicenter of the early silent film industry. William Selig built the first permanent movie studio in Los Angeles at Clifford St. and Glendale Blvd and based its architecture off the San Gabriel Mission. Early iterations of Universal Studios, Pathe, and Fox Studios also worked out of Echo Park. Each of these studios left a lasting legacy on the entertainment industry, but none could compare to Mack Sennett in terms of genre influence. The filmmaker arrived in Edendale in 1912 and immediately ushered in slapstick comedy from this pre-Hollywood neighborhood. By the 1950s, the entertainment industry had moved out of Edendale and into the major Hollywood studios, so Echo Park had become a distant neighborhood from the center of entertainment industry politics. Technically Bunker Hill is the oldest neighborhood in Los Angeles, but it lost the possibility for long-term legacy after most of its original structures were razed in the 1950s and 1960s for "slum clearance." This makes Angeleno Heights the oldest neighborhood still standing in Los Angeles. The section of Echo Park below Sunset, East of Echo Park Ave., and West of the 101/110 freeway interchange includes some of the most historic homes in the whole city. While the Victorian and Craftsman homes fell into disrepair post-WWII, the 1980s marked a turn towards conservation after the neighborhood was formally recognized as an historic district (the first such recognition in L.A.).
Now the neighborhood features well-restored homes on hilly streets overlooking downtown and the rest of Echo Park. The 1300 block of Carroll Avenue is in the National Register of Historic Places because of its high concentration of Victorian homes. The Los Angeles Conservancy hosts regular walking tours of the neighborhood, which includes visiting inside two of the private residences.
The beautiful, well-preserved homes have also attracted many film and television shoots over the years. The television show Charmed filmed at 1329 Carroll Ave. and the house from the Thriller music video sits at 1345 Carroll Ave. Other neighborhoods like University Park and West Adams have also beautiful homes.
ECHO PARK GOT ITS NAME FROM A CURIOUS SIDE EFFECT OF BUILDING A MAN-MADE LAKE
How did Echo Park even get its name? The picturesque lake was at one point Reservoir Number 4, meant to provide drinking water for the area. The reservoir lost its purpose (and economic viability) after the construction of the Silver Lake Reservoir, so it was drained and handed over to the city. Joseph Henry Tomlinson, a local architect, spearheaded the construction of the new lake and park. During construction, Tomlinson heard workers speaking behind him. When he turned to face them, though, he realized they were actually on the other side of the basin. The lake had a natural echo, and Echo Park was born.
The park took eight years. Tomlinson took care to make that long construction time worth it, though. Despite being an English landscape designer, he gave Echo Park an entirely Californian design. Early photos display a lush park with willows, palms, and bridges flanking the man-made lake.
