My family moved into 2340 Lemoyne Street right after WWII, probably 1946. This is the walk street portion of Lemoyne that begins with the steps next to the water tower. We were told the house was built in the early 1900's and served, originally, as a bird sanctuary center. The house next door was owned by Reverend Marshall, who must have been the son of the Reverend Marshall you mention on Altivo. He was the pastor at the church across from Echo Park Lake. Our house had a stone and cement arch at the entrance with metal letters spelling out "Dawnhurst." The last time we visited, the arch was still there. My mother lived in the house until she was 83, which was 1991.
Fellowship Parkway was, basically, a dirt path that started (or ended) in front of our house on Lemoyne. Harwell Harris, the architect, lived in a tiny house on Fellowship Parkway across from us. it was coincidental that he had designed a house for my parents before WWII that never got built. Too bad. It probably would have been a landmark.
