What gets photographedPage One, the Camera and the Reader in Lawndale
Duplexes and apartments fill out Lawndale's narrow lots, and only about 4 in 10 homes are owner occupied. Where an older house has a brick chimney, the report notes which unit uses it, so tenants and owners read the same plain facts. About three miles from the water, summers stay mild and May or June mornings bring low clouds, which keep crowns damp. A fault lies a few miles east, the Newport-Inglewood, so old cracks are placed on the chimney rather than just mentioned.
