Hale House is a Queen Anne style Victorian mansion built in 1887 in the Highland Park section of northeast Los Angeles, California.

… Because of its eclectic nature, the Hale house is said to embody, in one package, many architectural inventions of the late 19th century, that buoyant and capricious era.

[5] The varied architectural style of the house has been described as Queen Anne, Eastlake,[4] Carpenter Gothic,[6] "picturesque eclectic,"[9] and "a capricious old gingerbread.

"[12] Whatever the precise style, the house is an impeccable example of Victorian craftsmanship and design, with ornate brick chimneys, stained-glass windows, wood carvings, and a "corner turret" crowned with giant copper fleur-de-lis.

In a 1966 report to the Los Angeles Cultural Heritage Commission, Raymond Girvigian, the chairman of the historic buildings committee of the Southern California chapter of the American Institute of Architects said:This residence, purchased by James and Bessie Hale about 1901, is a wood frame structure having exterior clapboard siding accented with fish scale shingles and cast plaster ornament around the main, east facade windows and pediments.

"[9] In announcing its designation of Hale House as a historic monument, the Cultural Heritage Commission gave the following reasons: This picturesque structure is an outstanding example of the late Victorian period in Los Angeles.

[4] For instance, the "wainscoting downstairs, called Lincrusta, is original to the house and made of a pressed paper mixture processed to look like embossed leather.

"[4] The oriental door bracket in the front parlor as well as the Eastlake-style dining table and chairs had been purchased by the Hale family.

[4] The Hale House and other old Los Angeles landmark structures are open for public tours, for a fee, at the Heritage Square Museum.

The Hale House also briefly appears in the original (promo film) music video for country artist Glen Campbell's song Wichita Lineman.
