Hancock Park is located in the eastern portion of the original Rancho La Brea area and was purchased by Major Henry Hancock in 1863. By the early 1900’s the growth along Wilshire Boulevard was mirroring the economic prosperity of Los Angeles as a whole. As a result, an area that was once dirt roads and oils fields blossomed into a concentration of grandly designed commercial buildings surrounded by developments of stately and luxurious homes.
The Bouquet came together within recent nights. Mr. LeSeraphin and Mrs. Walsh met on their first night in Los Angeles by coincidence, and shortly after they met Mrs. Rigney at a social event. Sharing a newness to the city and to unlife (as an aside - Mrs. Rigney is more a veteran of the night than the other two), plus a shared predilection for what one could call ‘Typically Toreador Pursuits’, they decided to form a coterie together. While not all Roses and not all of the Tower, they are loyal to each other and care very little for such distinctions.
 
The residential sub-division of Hancock Park was developed by Major Hancock’s son, G. Allan Hancock, in the 1920s. Outstanding architects of the era designed the palatial two-story, single-family residences in various Period Revival styles (including Tudor Revival, English Revival, Spanish Colonial Revival and American Colonial Revival) for influential members of Los Angeles society. You will notice that the vast majority of the residences are set back 50 feet from the street, as insisted upon by G. Allan Hancock, and include side driveways generally leading though a porte cochere to a rear garage.
 
With quick access to studios, including Paramount which is a stone's throw away across Melrose Avenue, the community's history as a home to stars and other employees of the industry is as old as the neighborhood itself.  Keystone Cops chases were filmed on Larchmont Boulevard. The 1936 Three Stooges film False Alarms used both Third Street and Larchmont Boulevard. Today many of the local homes are used to film commercials and movies. The 1983 film War Games utilized a home at Lucerne and Second Street as a major backdrop and set. Past prominent Hancock Park residents have included millionaire Howard Hughes, entertainers Mae West and Nat King Cole, Broadway Department Store magnate Arthur Letts, Jr., and architect William Pereira.

          owes its name to developer-philanthropist George Allan Hancock, who subdivided the property in the 1920s. Hancock, born and raised in  
          a home at what is now the La Brea tar pits, inherited 4,400 acres (18 km2), which his father, Major Henry Hancock had acquired from the Rancho
          La Brea property owned by the family of Jose Jorge Rocha.</p>


        <p>Hancock Park activists were instrumental in the passage of a 1986 Congressional ban on tunneling through the neighborhood. The ban, sponsored
          by Congressman Henry Waxman, prevented the Red Line Subway from being routed along Wilshire Boulevard through the neighborhood.</p>

About

The Bouquet came together within recent nights. Mr. LeSeraphin and Mrs. Walsh met on their first night in Los Angeles by coincidence, and shortly after they met Mrs. Rigney at a social event. Sharing a newness to the city and to unlife (as an aside - Mrs. Rigney is more a veteran of the night than the other two), plus a shared predilection for what one could call ‘Typically Toreador Pursuits’, they decided to form a coterie together. While not all Roses and not all of the Tower, they are loyal to each other and care very little for such distinctions.

Hangouts

The members of the Bouquet can be found individually or as a group frequenting the vigorous bars and clubs in Los Angeles, counting on their skills of carousing and seduction to keep themselves in good health and fitness.

Projects

To meet and network with as many invigorating and upcoming members of the city as they can. Indeed, even non-kindred have their uses!

  • Kindred: While not politically-minded as a group, each member has many useful skills that other kindred may find most convenient. Befriend one of them and you befriend them all.
  • Mortals: Delicious, nutritious, and they make such great company!
  • Other Spheres: Of course they would never *knowingly* seek to break the masquerade, but if no one shares their secrets, is there truly any harm done with just a kiss?
