Historic Preservation Overlay Zone of Stonehurst Community

The Stonehurst Community nestled between Shadow Hills and Sun Valley in the east end of the San Fernando Valley has two unique characteristics--it is composed of historic stone houses dating back to the early 1920’s and it is an equestrian neighborhood falling within a K-Overlay district.

Many different people have worked to preserve this special neighborhood and have been working through the process of having the neighborhood designated in the City of Los Angeles as a Historic Preservation Overlay.

Lloyd Hitt, one of the active community members working to get Stonehurst designated as historic is requesting that letters continue to be written to support this endeavor, "We must all write to Councilmember Wendy Gruel to continue to ask for her support to push this through as soon as possible."
