Philip de László - Miss Lisa Minghetti (1933)
Lisa was born Elise Pauline Pollak in Vienna on 17 October 1911, the daughter of Siegfried Pollak, an engineer and bridge builder, and his wife Adele, née Frankenstein. When Lisa was seven her father died of tuberculosis aged 51. She made her first appearance at the age of twelve at an orchestral concert of the Vienna Symphony Orchestra. She studied the violin at the Vienna Conservatory, going later to Berlin to complete her training with Carl Flesch, after which she moved to London, probably in 1933, in October of which year the present portrait was made. According to her son, in order to leave Germany she had been helped by an Italian diplomat who had befriended her in Berlin. Lisa recalled attending a reception with him at which Hitler was present: as they had passed into the reception area she had seen two members of the Gestapo commenting on the women and overheard one say to the other he could “smell a Jew a mile away.” After she had been presented to Hitler, who kissed her hand, the same man said that Lisa, who was indeed Jewish, was the most beautiful woman present. She never returned to her native Austria and changed her name officially to Lisa Minghetti in 1935, although earlier references to the present portrait indicate that she was using that name before. When the Germans arrived in Austria, her mother and elder sister emigrated to Buenos Aires but Lisa never saw her mother again. In England she frequently played at major orchestral concerts in London and the provinces. While there she met and married Anton Maaskoff, himself a violin prodigy and 18 years her senior. Before the outbreak of war they moved to Los Angeles where her only child Maurice was born in 1940. There she performed with the Alan Hancock Ensemble at the University of Southern California, in motion picture studio orchestras, and frequently gave chamber music recitals at home and for benefit concerts. She was considered to be in the first rank of modern women violinists, combining sound musicianship with brilliance of execution. Early on she worked and developed a close relationship with Paul Robeson. Having experienced American racial prejudice with him, later she herself became involved in the civil rights movement. After Anton Maaskoff died in 1951 she married Alfred Lustgarten, a Julliard trained violinist, who adopted her son. His brother was a renowned cellist and both played under Toscanini for a number of years. Lisa Minghetti died in Los Angeles of skin cancer on 7 October 1961, shortly before her fiftieth birthday.

Southern California Home Builders (Photo taken by Rachel Hughes in 2023 around Silver Lake in Los Angeles, CA)
They owned property in Los Angeles, El Cajon, San Diego, and Tulare County.
Apparently this legal understanding stems from the California appeals court case Southern California Home Builders v Young: "the right of the corporation to recover from those to whom corporate assets may have been unlawfully transferred does not affect the statutory liability of the directors who made the unlawful distribution, unless the corporation, in the exercise of the first right, causes the replacement, in whole or in part, of what was taken from the corporation. In that event the liability of the directors would be diminished proportionately or expunged, since the corporation would be entitled to what was taken and no more. "
In 1913, they placed an advertisement selling shares of the business in the Santa Fe New Mexican (Santa Fe New Mexican, January 28, 1913, pg. 3, New Mexican Printing Company, accessed via the University of New Mexico UNM Digital Repository).
This photo, entitled "Building a new bungalow" is from the Herald Examiner Collection held by the Los Angeles Public Library. It shows the "construction of one of five new bungalows built in one week on Eighty-third Street, by the Southern California Home Builders."
As of 1917, the Southern California Home Builders had their headquarters at 321 Walter P. Story building, at the southwest corner of Broadway and Sixth streets (610 N. Broadway) in downtown Los Angeles. They only paid $50/month for rent, which also included the use of the telephone and the "valuable services from an experienced manager, Sydney B. Brown" (born in Carthage, Missouri on January 15, 1884). Pretty crazy that would be included, so I feel like I must not be understanding correctly. He collected rents, handled insurance, kept houses in good condition for rental or sale, and handled the "payment of taxes, assessments on properties, interest payments on mortgages, renewals of mortgages and collection of payments on trust deeds and other collections." Brown was also an agent for so many other companies in the Story building, including New Jersey Insurance Co of Newark, NJ; British & Federal Fire Underwriters of Norwich, England; Southwest Farming Co.; Repubilc Casualty Company of Pittsburg. It seems Brown ran all of these operations out of his own company, Sydney B Brown Co. with several employees: a telephone operator (Laura V Small, who lived on Laurel Canyon), a secretary (Mrs. Minnie T Leavitt, who lived on N Normandie Ave.), and someone else who worked in the insurance department (Lolah Boal of Alhambra). While the company's phone number was "Bway 24," his home phone number was 10783 (Los Angeles Director Co's Los Angeles City Directory, The Los Angeles Director Company, Los Angeles, CA, 1921, accessed via the Los Angeles Public Library).
They "closed a deal whereby a nine-room residence at 1527 Hayworth avenue, in Hollywood, was sold... to Margaret Robinson. Sydney B. Brown had charge of the deal." However, when they rented Burbank Hall to hold an annual meeting, they couldn't because the secretary had the flu and "there was not sufficient stock represented." At that time, the president of the company was named Charles A. Sessions, McCullough Graydon was VP, M. T. Leavitt was secretary, R. N. Earl was treasurer, and E. Fossler was director. Later that year, the company had an "assessment sale" and apparently it "showed the largest percentage that had ever been paid at any stock sale... The company is now considering the increasing of rentals" - I have no idea what that means. Nonetheless, I know the business wasn't doing too well in 1919. It was already "the second time that most of this corporation's assets were wiped out."
Quick interlude from some information about Sessions. He was born in 1843 in Michigan and died in 1933; he is buried at Forest Lawn Memorial Park in Glendale, CA (Findagrave.com). He was married to Mary Ellen Jay and had a son named Horace, who was a Private (though I don't know in what).
Another tangential person is Thomas Chalmers Vint. He was born in Salt Lake City, Utah in 1894 but had moved to Los Angeles, CA by the time he attended high school. He went to UC Berkeley and graduated with a BS in Landscape Architecture in 1920. He had also spent a semester at the Ecole des Beaux Arts at the University of Lyon, France and studied city planning at UCLA in 1921. He eventually had a four-decade career with the National Park Service! But, while in school, so I assume around the same time as the above folks where involved, he worked for A. S. Falconer, who designed bungalows for our company of focus! He had also worked as an assistant to Lloyd Wright.
The below are advertisements they took out, which show they both built homes but also underwrote insurance policies for fire and automobile. You'll also see their logo which is in their contractor stamp - rare to see a logo like this in a stamp!
Another fun find is this war bonds advertisement, which was partially paid for by Southern California Home Builders.
I don't know what ended up happening to the company. But many decades later there was a (seemingly unrelated) Southern California Home Builders Association.

The Growing Trend of ADU Construction in Los Angeles by Top Home Builders
Los Angeles, a sprawling Southern California city known for its celebrities, diverse culture, and modern architecture, is witnessing a growing trend that's capturing the attention of homeowners and investors alike: Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs). As one of the most populated cities in the US, there's an increasing demand for affordable housing and space optimization. Top home builders in Los Angeles, like JP Builders, are stepping in to cater to this demand with innovative ADU construction techniques.
Understanding ADUs
An Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) is a secondary dwelling unit with a full kitchen and bathroom, which may be attached to the primary house or built separately. It's a popular way to maximize the use of land, providing homeowners with a way to earn additional income, create space for family members, or even increase the resale value of their property.
Why Los Angeles is Embracing ADUs Affordable Housing Solution: With soaring property prices, ADUs offer an affordable solution to the housing crisis. They provide homeowners with a chance to make efficient use of their property by adding rentable space, which can generate additional income.
Flexible Living Arrangements: ADUs can serve as guesthouses, rental units, or living spaces for elderly family members or adult children. This flexibility appeals to a wide range of homeowners.
Increased Property Value: Having an ADU on the property can increase its overall value. Future buyers might appreciate the potential income they can generate from the unit or the added space for personal use.
Supporting a Greener Environment: Instead of expanding outward and contributing to urban sprawl, building vertically or optimizing existing land helps preserve green spaces. This aligns with Los Angeles's goals to build a sustainable future.
Choosing the Right Home Builder for ADU Construction in Los Angeles
Given the importance and benefits of ADUs, it's essential to partner with experienced home builders like JP Builders. Here’s why:
Expertise in Local Regulations: LA has specific guidelines for ADUs concerning size, height, and placement. Experienced builders are well-versed in these rules, ensuring smooth construction.
Quality Craftsmanship: Building an ADU is an investment. Top home builders prioritize durability and aesthetics, ensuring the ADU not only looks good but lasts long.
Customization: Every homeowner has a unique vision for their ADU. Leading builders in Los Angeles provide tailored solutions to match specific needs, be it design, material choice, or functional elements.
Streamlined Process: With professionals at the helm, homeowners can expect a seamless process from planning to construction, ensuring timely completion without compromising on quality.
Conclusion
The rising trend of ADU construction in Los Angeles underscores the city's evolving housing needs. With benefits ranging from added income to flexible living solutions, it's no wonder more homeowners are exploring this avenue. And when it comes to realizing this vision, trusting top home builders like JP Builders becomes crucial. Their expertise, commitment to quality, and understanding of local nuances make them an ideal choice for any homeowner seeking to embark on the ADU journey.

What is House Releveling?
House Leveling is a process whereby foundations are brought back to their original position by lifting the house, using piers or beams to redistribute weight across different parts of the foundation. This is a common repair done for houses with slab foundations or pier and beam foundations that have settled over time. It is also known as a foundation lift or house lifting and is a great alternative to replacing the entire foundation in these cases.
Most houses have a foundation that settles into the soil over time, even brand new structures. This settling is normal and can be a good thing if it happens evenly and does not compromise the structural integrity of the building. However, if the foundation begins to sink from its original placement on the site or the house starts to tilt and sag, then it is time to consider a professional leveling and repair project.
A number of problems can cause a home’s foundation to shift, heave or settle. These include; foundation erosion, structural damage, volatile soil conditions, under-slab plumbing leaks, poor exterior drainage and intrusive tree roots. All of these issues will contribute to a shifting or sinking house foundation and need to be corrected before House Releveling can be performed.
If your house is starting to tilt and sag in areas, it is probably time to have it leveled by a foundation repair company. If left unattended, a tilting or sagging house structure will continue to get worse and can eventually become unsafe for the residents of the home.
House structures are not designed to lean towards one side or another, and if this does occur, it is important that it be repaired as soon as possible to prevent serious and expensive problems in the future. Leveling a house will address the issue and allow for proper support of the structure.
In order to level a house, a foundation repair contractor will need to place hydraulic bottle jacks under the lowest points of the foundation in the house. Then, the jacks are used to lift the house up to the desired level. After the house is lifted, the jacks are removed and the process is repeated in other low areas of the home until the house is leveled.
The leveling process is a complicated procedure and is best completed by an experienced foundation repair company. Smart Foundation Repair offers a wide range of solutions for all types of foundations. Our technicians will listen to your concerns and provide the best solution for your situation.
