Casa de Parley Johnson, Historic residential property in California, US

Casa de Parley Johnson is a Spanish Revival house in Downey, California, designed by architect Roland Coate and completed in 1927 for Alexander Parley Johnson. The two-storey residence shows the style's characteristic stucco walls, low-pitched tiled roofs and arched openings.

Alexander Parley Johnson, heir to citrus groves, real estate and oil investments, had the house built in 1927; it was designed by architect Roland Coate in the Spanish Revival style. The Johnson family kept it until 1986, when they gave it to the Assistance League of Downey, and it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on March 20, 1986.

The Johnsons kept the house until 1986, when the family gave it to the Assistance League of Downey, which has used it since. The name honours Alexander Parley Johnson, whose fortune came from citrus fields, real estate and oil investments. The house joined the National Register on March 20, 1986.

The house stands at 12700 Paramount Boulevard in Downey, Los Angeles County, and is not open to the public: since 1986 it has belonged to the Assistance League of Downey, which uses it for its own purposes. Visitors can see the Spanish Revival exterior from the street; the interior is not accessible.

The Johnsons kept the house until 1986, the same year it was listed on the National Register; they then gave it to the Assistance League of Downey, which has used it since.
