The Imperial Courts complex spans multiple blocks with 498 residential units arranged in two-story buildings along Croesus Avenue and Imperial Highway.
Built in 1944 as part of Los Angeles public housing initiatives, Imperial Courts provided homes for hundreds of families during the post-World War II period.
The neighborhood features numerous murals and public art installations that represent the stories and experiences of African-American and Mexican residents.
