The Doumakes House circa 1928

Описание: ✨The Doumakes House✨ 1928 holds the distinction of being Landmark No. 1 and the first residential home in Unincorporated Los Angeles County awarded a Mills Act contract.

Commissioned by James Doumakes, Greek immigrant and founder of the iconic Doumak marshmallow company, this was the residence of a family that reshaped an industry. From cast-mold marshmallows in 1921 to the patented extrusion process that became the global standard, the Doumakes name is tied to innovation. Nearly a century later, the home has been painstakingly restored with discipline and respect, no shortcuts, no trendy flips, just craftsmanship.
