Los Angeles Cultural Monument #117 source

I emailed the Los Angeles City Office of Historic Resources to try to find more information on the Beckett residence one week ago.  They finally got back to be with sending me numerous scans of documents they have on the house.  These made up 32 pages.  There was owner information, a few accident reports, as well as information on the Veteran housing agency that used the house for about 10 years.  These are the major point of new points of information.

• In 1971 the Veteran Housing Committee move into the house.  They were able to house 30 men in the house at once, but tried to keep it under 25 people.  The rent was $1,600 which included a bed, 3 meals, and a laundry service.

• A reporter entered the house in 1973 to do a story on the vet's house, he wrote about the living conditions.  He called the interior architecture "extraordinary" 
• In 1980 or 1981 there was a house fire, damage was reported and some windows were replace and water damage that was repaired
