What gets photographedPage One, the Camera and the Reader in Whittier
Reports for Uptown Whittier have a specific job: showing whether a repair from after 1987 was done well. Ranch tracts farther east get a simpler flue summary, and custom houses in the hills get a note about wind and access. Uptown's older brick and many chimneys took damage in the 1987 Whittier Narrows quake, so patch quality gets real attention. Puente Hills streets run hotter and windier than the plains, with brush along the north edge, so mesh gets rated too.
