LaFayette
After the First World War, Los Angeles was a town that was looking for an uptick in population. Around the turn of the twentieth century, there was a large oil boom in southern California: Between the extraordinary climate that California had to offer and the rich resources that was able to provide jobs to the oil and agricultural industries, the state experienced great population booms. In Los Angeles, Crenshaw had invested in and oversaw ten residential real estate ventures to help satiate the growth; one of the new neighborhoods would become Lafayette Square in Los Angeles.
