synopsis
The Olmsted Brothers were hired to design Leimert Park Addition and envision the boulevards and parks of Leimert Park, a subdivision previously developed by Walter H. "Tim" Leimert in 1928. As one of the first communities in Southern California designed for low-middle income families, it set a standard for urban planning at the time.

The main remaining elements of the Olmsted work are the layout of Leimert Park Addition and Leimert Park Plaza.
