Who Built Lincoln Park?
Architects and families in Pomona's Lincoln Park Historic District.
Lincoln Park is a 45-block, roughly 230-acre residential district just north of downtown Pomona, roughly McKinley Avenue, Towne Avenue, Pasadena Street and Garey Avenue, and home to the park of the same name. Its nomination covers about sixty years of building, from 1890 to 1954, and counts four historic hitching posts among its contributing objects. Its records name owners far more often than architects; this record shows the 7 Lincoln Park houses whose architect a document names.
Who designed the houses in Lincoln Park?
On this record, the architect named most is Robert H. Orr (architect, 2). For most of the Lincoln Park houses on this record the documents name an owner and no architect, and those houses are not on these pages.
Who lived first in Lincoln Park's houses?
Among the first and earliest owners of the houses here the record names working families. The table below gives the family for every house here where the record has one, beside the architect, and says when the name is the earliest on record rather than the first.
Who can tell me who designed my Lincoln Park house?
I can. I'm Greg Anderson of Arroyo Casa. Lincoln Park's records are unusually personal, and when the record names the architect, and the first family beside the architect, I can tell you what it says.
Every house on record.

How this record is built.
This record is compiled by the Arroyo Casa Archive of Records from public documents: city and county historic resources surveys and inventories, National Register nominations, landmark designation reports and council records, planning documents and preservation groups' publications, plus the building notices of 1917 to 1930, printed as houses were permitted, contracted or announced. Where a house was matched to the Los Angeles County Assessor's record at the same address in the same city, the page says whether the county confirms it standing. A house is shown only when one of those documents names its architect, and the builder and the first family are shown beside the architect where a document names them. Each house carries the kind of document behind it, and a credit the document itself calls likely, probable, possible or attributed is marked attributed. The methodology and every source document are on one page.
