Hidden between an art studio and an auto-body shop on between Avenues 50 and 51 rests one of Highland Park's oldest historical monuments.
Lush, green trees line the walkway to the entrance of the former Occidental College Hall of Arts and Letters at 121 Avenue 50, casting a palette that's both distinctly native to Southern California and evocative of bucolic east coast campuses.
Nearly a century after Occidental moved from Highland Park to Eagle Rock, the merger these two aesthetics still represents what the Arroyo strives to be at its best, native and newcomer living in peaceful harmony.
