Summary edit
DescriptionBanning House 1864.jpg |
English: Banning House is a Greek Revival style home designed by General Phineas Banning as his personal residence in 1864. Banning reportedly engaged shipwrights, blacksmiths, carpenters, and artisans from clipper ships visiting Wilmington harbor to complete and decorate his home. During his lifetime, Banning entertained politicians, foreign dignitaries, ship captains, Army officers, and business leaders.
Banning arrived in Los Angeles in 1851 and built successful transportation businesses, including ships, railroads, and stage coach lines running from Wilmington to Los Angeles, San Bernardino, and Fort Yuma. He founded Wilmington (named after his hometown of Wilmington, Delaware) in 1858, built the first railroad in Los Angeles (the Los Angeles and San Pedro Railroad) in 1869, designed and promoted the first breakwater at the Los Angeles harbor, and is considered the "Father of the Port of Los Angeles." Banning was reportedly fond of walking up the stairs of the house to his fourth floor cupola where he would watch the ships arriving with cargoes. He was also elected to the California legislature in 1867 and 1869. Banning lived in the house for more than 20 years until his death in 1885. Banning died at age 53 after being knocked down and run over by a passing express wagon while visiting San Francisco. The Banning House property was designated a Los Angeles Historic-Cultural Monument (No.25) in 1963 and is also a California Historical Landmark (No. 247) and has been listed in the National Register of Historic Places. Located at 410 East M Street in Wilmington, California. |
