These Victorian homes in the neighborhood of Angelino Heights are more reminiscent of those on Haight Street in San Francisco as opposed to Carroll Avenue in L.A. Nonetheless, this tiny enclave in greater Echo Park has the largest collection of late 19th-century residences in the entire city. Its location in the steep hills also allows for some marvelous views of downtown and some parts of Mid-City. Overall, Angelino Heights is a nice detour when visiting Echo Park, and it's a definite must-see for architecture buffs.

Lying roughly 500 miles north of the Molokai Fracture Zone, the Murray Fracture Zone may resemble its younger southern cousin, but it has a tumultuous past all its own. Older than the fracture zones immediately south, the Murray Fracture was formed 80-100 million years ago as the ridges that went on to split into the Molokai area began their initial drift. Stretching from the Eastern end of Hawaii all the way to the continental slope just off of Los Angeles, the Murray fracture is directly parallel to flights from Southern California to the Big Island.

Ennis House
Many consider Ennis-Brown House to be the most impressive of the Frank Lloyd Wright area residences. Built in 1924, Wright used Mayan art and architecture as his dominant influence for this home. It was given its current name in 1980 when then-owner, Augustus O. Brown donated the house to the Trust for Preservation of Cultural Heritage. The house has been featured dozens of times in film and television, most famously in the Ridley Scott sci-fi classic Blade Runner. Situated near Griffith Park, the house is highly visible from several area neighborhoods.
