Detailed Introduction Of This Home
First offering since 1993: Finis E. Yoakum House, 1915. Los Angeles Historic-Cultural Monument No. 287. Built for the founder of what came to be known as the Pisgah Home Historic District (National Register of Historic Places) in Highland Park, Finis E. Yoakum provided faith healing and social services to his loyal followers. They repaid him by building a large Tudor style property to be used as his personal residence. Completed in 1915, the Yoakum House is one of the largest landmarks in the area and has retained much of its original historic fabric. Wood paneling, beamed ceilings, large pocket doors between rooms and two hand carved fireplaces can be found on the first floor. The residence includes: 8 bedrooms, 6 baths, formal dining, office/library with built-in bookshelves, breakfast room, wrap-around second story balcony, artist's wing, wine cellar, and a converted attic containing 2 bedrooms, 1 bath and a kitchenette. Sited on almost .5 acres, tranquil glimpses of the surrounding hillside provide an idyllic refuge in the heart of Northeast Los Angeles.
