St. James Park Historic District, Historical residential district in West Adams, Los Angeles, California.

St. James Park Historic District is a residential neighborhood in West Adams featuring homes from the late 1800s and early 1900s. The buildings display Classical Revival, Craftsman, and Queen Anne styles arranged around a central park area.

George King and his wife donated the parkland to Los Angeles in 1887. They named it after their visits to London, where they found inspiration for this community.

The parkland was named by George King and his wife for their many trips to London. In 1896 the Ladies Auxiliary held a carnival-themed benefit for the Stimson-Lafayette Industrial School, lit by the Los Angeles Lighting Company, with American, Spanish and two Central American booths; a Japanese lantern set the tamale booth alight at 11 PM.

The area is best explored on foot, as most homes are visible from the street. Plan a walk around the park and take time to notice the details of the different building styles as you move through the neighborhood.

In 1992 a developer obtained a demolition permit for 2377 Scarff Street by telling the city the house had been damaged in the riots, though it was a contributing structure to the district with its own historic marker. Demolition began without notifying neighbours, and the city later publicly acknowledged the mistake.
