Foy House, Victorian Italianate house in Angelino Heights, Los Angeles, United States

Foy House is a Victorian Italianate-style house built in 1872, now at 1337 Carroll Avenue in Angelino Heights, Los Angeles. It was reportedly the first three-story building in the city, and its design is attributed to architect Ezra F. Kysor. The house was moved three times, from 7th and Figueroa Streets to Witmer Street and finally to Carroll Avenue in 1992.

Samuel Calvert Foy bought the corner of 7th and Grasshopper (now Figueroa) Streets from Mayor Thomas Foster for $1,000 in 1872 and built this Italianate house there in 1872 or 1873, reportedly the city's first three-story building. The family sold the site in December 1919 for about $600,000, and the house was moved to Witmer Street. In 1992 it was moved again, to 1337 Carroll Avenue in Angelino Heights.

Mary Foy, one of the four daughters raised here, became the city's first woman librarian in 1880 and a leader of the California women's suffrage movement. The house later appeared as a filming location, standing in for J. Edgar Hoover's parents' home in the 2011 film J. Edgar.

The house stands at 1337 Carroll Avenue in Angelino Heights, Los Angeles' first and largest historic preservation zone, north of downtown near Echo Park. It is a private residence, so visitors view the Victorian Italianate facade from the public sidewalk. The surrounding Carroll Avenue district holds other relocated and restored Victorian homes worth walking past.

The house has been moved three times: from Seventh and Figueroa to Witmer Street, then in December 1992 to 1337 Carroll Avenue in Angelino Heights, Los Angeles's first and largest historic preservation zone. It was the seventh house relocated there. From 1998 to 2006 it appeared in several episodes of the television series Charmed.
