Looking north on Prospect Boulevard under mature camphor trees; This area, designed as a housing development in 1906, boasts Sylvanus Marston clinker-brick portals on Orange Grove at Prospect Boulevard. Mature camphor trees create a shady arch over the wide, lovely boulevard from entrance on Orange Grove. Frank Lloyd Wright’s La Miniatura is in this neighborhood, as well as the extraordinary Gamble House and, on Arroyo Terrace, a spectacular collection of Greene & Greene houses.
