“A golf course?” you might wonder, glancing at Country Club Crossing. Let’s rewind to 1897. A group of Angelenos established the Los Angeles Golf Club. Their first course, the Windmill Links, was at Pico and Alvarado. Later, they moved to Pico and Western, the very spot we now call Country Club Crossing. Country Club Crossing wasn’t always a crossing. It was once part of a sprawling golf course. This land held the dreams of golfers until 1910 when the club relocated to Holmby Hills. After the golf club’s departure, Isaac Milbank and George Chase transformed the former links into a residential neighborhood. Grand homes and mansions began to rise, shaping Country Club Park in the 1920s. Various architectural styles, from Craftsman to Mediterranean Revival, graced the neighborhood. A pivotal moment in Country Club Park’s history came after the 1948 Shelley v. Kraemer Supreme Court ruling. This decision outlawed racial covenants, and Country Club Park became a pioneer among affluent Los Angeles neighborhoods, opening its doors to Black homeowners. This marked a significant step towards integration in the city. The neighborhood’s rich history and architectural integrity were recognized in 2010. Country Club Park was designated a Los Angeles Historic Preservation Overlay Zone. It stands as a testament to the city’s evolving landscape.
