A Colonial estate in the heart of the Miracle Mile, and a 1930s Spanish duplex in South Carthay.
Living in Miracle Mile / Carthay Circle
The Miracle Mile is the stretch of Wilshire Boulevard between La Brea and Fairfax that A. W. Ross began building up in the 1920s for shoppers arriving by car; the name was in print by 1929, and its Art Deco and Streamline Moderne fronts were meant to be read through a windshield. Museum Row lines the boulevard: LACMA, whose Peter Zumthor galleries opened across Wilshire in April 2026, the La Brea Tar Pits, the Petersen and the Academy Museum.
South of Wilshire, tracts subdivided between 1920 and 1923 hold one-story houses north of Olympic and one- and two-story apartment buildings below it, mostly in Spanish Colonial, Tudor and other Period Revival styles. J. Harvey McCarthy developed Carthay Circle from 1922, naming its streets for Gold Rush figures and putting the utilities underground — a first for a Los Angeles subdivision. South Carthay and Carthay Square carry Spanish Colonial Revival streets on toward Pico.
