L.A. Historians' Clearing House

A researcher writes asking for help with information on an enclave of radicals living in an Echo Park neighborhood nicknamed “Red Hill” and sometimes known as “Red Gulch.”

A Proquest search of The Times finds a passing reference in the 1980s, but no details. Some Times stories from 1944 refer to the Echo Park Communist Club.

Anyone with information is asked to post a comment (they are moderated, remember, and posts that are off-point, extraneous or profane are rejected).
