History is forever locked into this home that was first brought to life in 1927. Over the 81 years of it's existence, the home has seen many people and faces. It started as a hillside Traditional style cottage with a river-rock front porch and fireplace. Only one neighbor to the south existed at the time. The next owner added lush tropical landscaping and a monkey on the point of the gable roof to watch over the visitors. Decorative tapestries, stenciled walls and ceilings as well as many ornate fixtures have called 545 W. Avenue 46 home over the years. Today, you will find historical puzzle pieces around every corner with and maybe even some that we don't know about. Although much of the homes history is not documented, neighborhood lore and past owner information has been compiled to tell a little story. Several of the major contributions that make up the home have been brought back to life thanks to Los Angeles natives Fernando Tellez and David Fisher. Pride and history have inspired them to resurrect this home and let it shine in a new light. A few noted contributions to the home include the interiors of the living room, library nook and dining room with their "cathedral" feel, vintage stained glass, inset decorative concrete torsos, flora and stenciled block, and so much more. After the Sylmar earthquake of 1971, the home took on a new look when the owners had salvaged the interiors of the First Presbyterian Church of Glendale and reworked them to be installed within the interiors of their home. Along with these interiors the owners had acquired the "Irish Harp" stained glass window rumored to have originated from the 16th century and once installed in the St. Agnes Cathedral of Los Angeles. It was installed in the courtyard at the main entrance where it is installed to this day. The marble floors and doors in the dining room were also salvaged from the Paul Williams designed Cord Estate (makers of the Duesenberg & Cord Automobiles) in Beverly Hills after it was demolished in 1962.
