Background

Scope and content:

The Haufe family collection on Hildreth Mansion contains photographs, newspaper clippings, and other material documenting the Hildreth Mansion, a Victorian house built in the Bunker Hill neighborhood of Los Angeles between 1886 and 1889 and restored by John and Mabel Haufe in the late 1940s as a rooming house named Hopecrest. The house, formerly located at 357 S. Hope Street, was designed by Joseph C. Newsom and built for Dr. Edward T. Hildreth, a retired Clergyman from Chicago. John and Mabel Haufe owned the Hildreth Mansion from 1946 to 1952. The house was demolished in 1954 and the parcel was subsequently purchased by the Redevelopment Authority and eventually incorporated into the Security Pacific Bank headquarters, which later became the Bank of America Plaza. The collection holds photographs taken by the Haufes during their residence at Hopecrest, as well as newspaper clippings about the house and the demolition of the Bunker Hill neighborhood. The collection also includes a brief history of the Hildreth Mansion and its restoration written by John Haufe in 1976.
