The Flower Drive Historic District spans the west side of the 3800 and 3900 blocks of S. Flower Drive. It consists of multi-family dwellings — largely fourplexes — constructed between 1920 and 1927 that are highly consistent in size, massing, orientation, building type, and architectural style. It was designated as a significant collection of historic fourplexes from the 1920s and for the cohesive designs of the Period Revival architectural styles.

The first encroachment on the District dates back to 2016 when the proposed Fig Project called for the demolition of nearly half of the District. WAHA and the Conservancy fought hard to have the developer reuse, rather than demolish, the historic resources within the project boundaries. In early 2020, the Ventus Group developers and WAHA found a win-win solution to adaptively reuse four of the district contributors and relocate the remaining four within the surrounding neighborhood.

Since 2021, the Flower Drive tenants, supported by the L.A. Tenants Union, have faced Cash for Keys offers and Ellis Act evictions. According to the Flower Street Drive Tenants Association, this block is “home to working class Black and Latino families, elders, children with disabilities and LGBTQ+ persons” who together create a “thriving community of neighbors, who look out for each other, support each other, clean and take care of the block together, and celebrate their diverse immigrant traditions andheritages together.”
