The 52nd Place Historic District features 37 one-story Craftsman houses with gabled roofs, overhanging eaves, front porches, and brick chimneys built between 1911 and 1914.

Civil rights activists Joseph and Charlotta Bass resided at 697 E. 52nd Place, where Charlotta Bass managed the California Eagle newspaper during the 1930s.
