Several properties have been nominated and approved for
historic preservation in Los Angeles. One notable piece of LA's history, which is also among the names enlisted, is the Banning House. Now more common as the General Phineas Banning Residence Museum, the original San Pedro Bay situates near the historic home, which was constructed in 1863 in the Greek Revival-Victorian style. Phineas Banning himself was the architect behind this property's construction, and he made sure each and every detail was given proper attention during the process of construction. The property stayed under the Banning family's heritage until 1925. Two years later, it was taken over by the City of Los Angeles. Now a museum, the Banning House also hosts gardens as well as a barn, and is also termed as the Banning Park. The property is a designated Los Angeles Historic-Cultural Monument and also lists under the National Register of Historic Places.
