History hiding in plain sight: 10 signs that tell Downtown Long Beach’s story

Have you spotted some new signs around Downtown Long Beach and wondered what they’re all about? Turns out, they’re little windows into the city’s past! Installed by the City earlier this summer, ten historical markers scattered throughout Downtown and the Shoreline area highlight everything from notable city firsts to quirky, lesser-known moments in Long Beach history. Developed with research and archival photos compiled by Long Beach Public Library Special Collections Librarian Jeff Whalen, the signs offer a self-guided history tour hiding in plain sight. Next time you’re strolling Downtown, keep an eye out — you might learn something new about a place you’ve walked past a hundred times. And there’s more history to come, with plans to expand the signage throughout the city in future phases.

Mansions get torn down; larger developments replace apartment buildings and the streets themselves are pretty much unrecognizable. Yet at 1851 North Ivar Avenue, looking out over Franklin Avenue, one of Hollywood's most distinctive residential properties has survived for nearly one hundred years. Chateau Alto Nido with its red tile roof, pale stucco walls, arched openings and wrought iron balconies is a very real physical manifestation of the astonishing transformation of the area during the early days of the talking picture.
