Pisgah Home Historic District, Historic district in Highland Park, Los Angeles, United States

The Pisgah Home Historic District encompasses eight structures built between 1895 and 1925 in the Highland Park neighborhood of Los Angeles.

Dr. Finis E. Yoakum established the district in 1895 as a religious social service organization after experiencing what he considered a miraculous recovery from injuries.

The district operated as a charitable institution providing shelter, food, and rehabilitation services to unemployed individuals and people experiencing homelessness in early Los Angeles.

The district maintains seven contributing buildings that exemplify the development of religious organizations and social philanthropy in Los Angeles during the early twentieth century.

Former residents of Pisgah Home participated in constructing a Tudor-style mansion that became Dr. Yoakum's residence within the district grounds.
