Among the eight projects being honored by the Los Angeles Conservancy for preservation next month is a cluster of four 1920s bungalow courts on Serrano Avenue and on Kingsley Drive in Hollywood that were nearly lost to demolition.

Now restored, above, they are homes for low-income and special-needs tenants and full of original details, including pull-down dining tables and other built-ins. At right: before the renovation.
