History
Start sits in Harvard Heights among the cultural heart of the city. The history of Harvard Heights as a hub of both residential life and early Angeleno industry is reflected in the Start building, as its previous inhabitants included a 1930s root beer company, a fountain supply company in the '40s and '50s and an upholsterer from the 90s into the early 2000s. The melding of community and small business can still be deeply felt in this pocket of LA.
