John B. Kane Residence, Victorian residence in West Adams, Los Angeles, United States

The John B. Kane Residence is a two-story house displaying three triangular roof peaks and Queen Anne-Eastlake design elements. The property includes an original stable that once housed horses and reflects residential structures from the late 1800s.

Architect Fred R. Dorn designed this house between 1892 and 1893 during a period of residential development in Los Angeles. The site gained recognition as a Historic Cultural Monument in 1990, acknowledging its importance to the city's past.

The house stands in the Park Villas Tract, which Sanborn maps record as part of what was then called "Los Angeles City." Its three triangular roof peaks in sequence are rare among the other Dorn-designed houses nearby, which usually have one or two.

The house stands on Bonsallo Avenue in the Park Villas Tract of West Adams, about a mile southwest of downtown Los Angeles. The I-10 and I-110 freeways cut through the area to the northeast, yet the immediate streets see little cut-through traffic. Mount St. Mary's College Doheny campus lies just south, and the 23rd St Expo Line station borders the neighborhood to the east.

The stable behind the house appears on Sanborn maps from the time the house was completed, indicating it housed two horses. The three triangular roof peaks in sequence are rare in the neighborhood, where other houses by architect Fred R. Dorn typically have one or two.
