• James and Besse Hale House in Heritage Square Los Angeles

The outward sweep of the entrance stairway, the sculpted brackets under the eaves, the slanted bay windows, and the narrow Corinthian columns are characteristic of its Victorian Italianate style. In 1975, the house was moved from 1315 Mount Pleasant Street to the museum grounds, and restoration was begun by the Colonial Dames Society of America. Heritage Square Museum continues to be a work-in-progress and a challenging one at that.

Heritage Square Museum is a living history and open-air architecture museum located beside the Arroyo Seco Parkway in the Montecito Heights neighborhood of Los Angeles, California, in the southern Arroyo Seco area. The living history museum shows the story of development in Southern California through historical architectural examples. Hale House is a Queen Anne style Victorian mansion built in 1887 in the Highland Park section of northeast Los Angeles, California. It has been described as "the most photographed house in the entire city", and "the most elaborately decorated".[2] In 1966, it was declared a Historic-Cultural Monument, and in 1972 it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

Other specialized living history events, lectures, and items of historical interest are given on a periodic basis. The long-term vision for the site was to be a living museum featuring homes, a church, train depot, bandstand and “downtown” area with a bank, general store, ice cream parlor, firehouse, restaurant, trolley barn and transportation museum. The story of the museum began during the rapid growth of Los Angeles during the 1960s, when 19th century buildings were quickly being demolished to make way for new development. When the last two residences on Bunker Hill, “Donovan's Castle” and the “Saltbox,” faced demolition, the City of Los Angeles Cultural Heritage Commission (a city agency) sought to save them. They hoped to move the homes down the hill to an open space between Olive and Hill Streets next to Angels Flight railway. Los Angeles Councilman Art Snyder then proposed moving the homes to a strip of parkland alongside the Arroyo Seco Parkway in Montecito Heights.

Hale's niece agreed to sell the house for $1 if it could be moved from the site. In July 1970, the house was lifted from its foundation and moved to the nearby Heritage Square Museum in Highland Park. The move cost $10,300 and an additional $3,000 to raise wires so the house could pass under.

Opened in 2015, The Hale House is a bar and restaurant located in Hales Corners, WI. This file contains additional information such as Exif metadata which may have been added by the digital camera, scanner, or software program used to create or digitize it. If the file has been modified from its original state, some details such as the timestamp may not fully reflect those of the original file. The timestamp is only as accurate as the clock in the camera, and it may be completely wrong. Admission prices are $10 for adults, $8 for seniors, and $5 for children ages 6-12. But when we visited recently, we opted to simply stroll the grounds on our own self-guided tour instead of taking the docent-led tour.

During the renovation of the house, chips of the original colors were found on the house. The exterior, which is mostly pink and teal, was painted with colors that were duplicated from the original colors that were found on chips on the house. The interior has been restored to recreate the appearance that it is believed to have had in 1899, but many of the house's original interior features remain intact. The Hale House and other old Los Angeles landmark structures are open for public tours, for a fee, at the Heritage Square Museum.

Bessie kept the house, opened it up to boarders, and became something of a real estate maven in early 20th century L.A. You will taste the difference in everything from our house-made sauces, our desserts and our made from scratch potato pancakes. Built in 1876 for William H. Perry, lumber magnate, organizer of the Los Angeles Gas Company, and eventual president of the Los Angeles Water Company, The Perry House house stood at Pleasant Avenue (hence its other known name of Mount Pleasant) in Boyle Heights. In 1888 the house was purchased by Stephen Hubbell, the first treasurer of Los Angeles and a founder of the University of Southern California — and the man who donated the property now known as MacArthur Park to the city. It’s also been called a must-see destination for any serious fan of The Doors. Over time the Palms Depot fell into a severe state of disrepair and was scheduled to be demolished.

The exterior and interior of the house is richly adorned with much of Ford’s unique carving work. Probably the the most recognized building at Heritage Square — and certainly the most colorful — the Hale House dates back to 1887. Built for land baron George W. Moran, it was originally located at 4501 North Pasadena Avenue (now known as Figueroa Street) on the border of Highland Park and Mount Washington — not too far from where it sits today. Eight historic buildings from the Victorian heyday of Los Angeles are preserved along the banks of the Arroyo Seco in Montecito Heights. The Mount Pleasant House was built in 1876 by prominent businessman and lumber baron William Hayes Perry.

The house was moved to Allen Avenue in 1917 where it stayed until 1986, when it avoided demolition by moving, again, this time to the Heritage Square. According the museum’s pamphlet, it’s the only “substantially unaltered Victorian-era house in California” and one of fewer than 500 octagon houses left in the United States. It is located at Heritage Square Museum, a complex of nine historic buildings where the newest methods of construction and restoration are used to preserve the oldest brick & mortar structures on Homer Street. The carriage barn was built in 1899 on the grounds of what is now Pasadena's Huntington Memorial Hospital for Dr. Osborne, a member of the hospital's staff. It has three gables and a distinctive pitched roof.The barn was saved from demolition and moved to the Heritage Square Museum in 1981.

Today it serves as the museum’s workshop, but there are plans to restore it as a working carriage barn. In 1969, to help stop the widespread destruction of historic Victorian homes across Los Angeles, a group of preservation-minded folks formed the Cultural Heritage Foundation at the request of the Los Angeles Cultural Heritage Commission. This group, in turn set up the Heritage Square Museum, a place where buildings of significant historic value could be preserved, restored, and showcased. On December 7 & 8, 2013 Heritage Square introduces guests to nostalgia through the ages at an annual event called Holiday Lamplight Celebration. Witness the past become the present to the glow of Victorian homes lit by the aura of lamplight.

James Hale met Bessie, a farm girl from Nebraska, at the Pio Pico House she was waitressing in. The two fell in love, got married, and purchased the Hale House to live in; however, a few years later, the couple separated and Hale died from a heart attack on August 15, 1921 at age 51. She operated the house as a boarding house until the late 1950s and lived there until she died in 1966 at age 97.

Money from fund-raising (which must compete with cancer research and feeding the hungry) is always in short supply. Some buildings, such as the Lincoln Avenue Methodist Church, have patiently stood in significant need of restoration for decades and cannot be opened for interior tours. Even the beautifully restored homes, as with any home (especially those more than a century old), are a constant maintenance challenge. The Queen Anne-meets-Carpenter Gothic cottage was built in 1899 at the Huntington Memorial Hospital for one Dr. Osborne and was designed to hold two horses and one carriage.
