Beckett Residence

The Beckett Residence was built in 1905 for Dr. Wesley Beckett, a chairman of the trustees of the Los Angeles County Medical Association, medical director for the Pacific Mutual Life Insurance Company, and member of the board of trustees at the University of Southern California.^[2][1] It was designed by John C. Austin in a neoclassical style.^[3] It consists of six bedrooms and four bathrooms.^[4] Over the years, it was used as a film set and even a haunted house during an "interactive horror play" called Delusion: The Blood Rite.^[1] In 2013, it was put up for sale with its neighbor, 2200 S. Harvard Blvd., for an asking price of $2.45 million.^[4]

In 2023, news broke that the mansion would be restored by Sugar Hill Mansions using hemp as a building material.^[5]
