Heritage Square Museum

Highlights

• Hale house: The Hale House was built in 1887 by George W. Morgan, a land speculator and real estate developer.
• John Ford House: The Ford House was built in 1887 as part of a large tract of simple middle-class homes in downtown Los Angeles built by the Beaudry Brothers.
• Octagon house: In 1848, Orson S. Fowler, a Yankee individualist and progressive social thinker, published a book entitled The Octagon House: A Home For All. In it, he argued the advantages of an eight-sided house over the standard four-sided variety. Windows on all sides offer more light and better air circulation which, in turn, lowers heating and cooling expenses.
