Ziegler Estate
historic place
The Ziegler Estate is a historic place located in the Highland Park section of Los Angeles, California, at 4601 North Figueroa Street. This notable building was constructed in 1904. Architects Charles Hornbeck and Alfred P. Wilson designed the estate, incorporating elements of both Queen Anne and American Craftsman architectural styles. Charles Hornbeck, one of the architects, resided in the home for two years after its completion. The estate is named for Louis B. Ziegler, who was vice president of Roth, Ziegler and Company and owned the property until 1959. In the 1950s, Carl Dentzel, then director of the Southwest Museum, acquired the estate, intending it as an addition to the museum complex. The City of Los Angeles later acquired the property in 1991. The Ziegler Estate was designated a Los Angeles Historic-Cultural Monument, number 416, on February 21, 1989. It was also added to the National Register of Historic Places on June 27, 2002. The historical marker for the estate was erected in 1989 by the City of Los Angeles. Today, the estate serves as a child-care facility, known as La Casita Verde Infant and Toddler Center. The Ziegler Estate is historically significant as an example of early 20th-century residential architecture in the Arroyo area of Los Angeles.
