Outpost Estates, Los Angeles, California
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Outpost Estates is a canyon neighborhood of Hollywood and the Hollywood Hills in the central region of the City of Los Angeles, California.
It is located directly east of Runyon Canyon Park and centered around Outpost Drive. It is one of the original 1920s Hollywood luxury residential neighborhoods in the heart of Old Hollywood. Most of the original houses have been preserved, and Lower Outpost looks much like it did in the 1920s.
[edit] Trivia
- In the 1920s, Outpost Estates once had a sign not unlike the Hollywoodland sign (which later became the Hollywood sign). The OUTPOST sign is still there, buried in the weeds. It was one of the largest neon signs in the world. Even the original foundation and electrical junction boxes survive.
- The Outpost Estates development was one of the first neighborhoods in the country to offer all-underground utilities.
