DPP | Compass Throughout the Decades
Carefully Curated by Each Era
Southern California looks pretty different than it did 150 years ago, and its evolution can be traced via its residential architecture. While peaceful times were represented by the use of craftsman skills, more affordable housing became the go-to during times of war, and booming economies led to extravagant design. Discover dpp homes throughout the decades, from the 19th century through present day.

Turn of the Century
Queen-Anne style architecture dominated during the turn of the century, but Colonial Revival homes gained real traction during this era. The early 1900s also ushered in the American Craftsman style — inspired by the Arts and Crafts movement — that became synonymous with Southern California. Craftsman homes, as epitomized by the California bungalow, utilized natural materials in contrast to the over-decorated and eclectic Victorian aesthetic.
Pre-War
Period Revival style homes such as Spanish, Mediterranean, Italianate, and Tudor helped define the Pre-War era. In the 1920s and 1930s, Art Deco buildings created futuristic skylines in downtown LA and on Wilshire Boulevard’s Miracle Mile. Streamline Moderne drive-ins were all the rage and Googie-themed coffee shops and gas stations were influenced by everything from jets to the Atomic Age.
