Learn MoreWhat we look after in Gardena
Berry farms and Japanese American families shaped early Gardena, then tract streets filled in after the war. A surviving bungalow and a 1950s tract house can share a block yet have very different chimneys, so each one gets judged on its own. Unprotected steel corrodes slowly in this damp marine air, and masonry crowns stay wet longer than you would guess. Freezes are rare, but the Newport-Inglewood Fault runs nearby, so a flue with no record is still worth a camera.
The Houses
Around Gardena the stock runs to small bungalows in the older blocks, postwar tract homes, and plenty of apartments.
Before the First Fire
Sea damp can rust a damper shut or thin a cap, so work the handle and have the steel looked at before lighting.
Care of the Room
Everything below the mantel gets covered, and the brushes do not start until the vacuum is already pulling at the opening.
Close By
Gardena stops sometimes fall alongside Inglewood, West Athens, Westmont.
