Historic Monrovia Walking Tour
Monrovia resident Marcus Chamberlain created a video tour of six Monrovia locations as part of his requirements for the Eagle Scout badge. Marcus completed the project during the summer of 2018 when he was 16 years old. MOHPG is pleased to provide a link to this project. Viewers can watch the videos of each location which include narration by MOHPG board members. It is also possible to walk to the locations (It takes about an hour as all are close to the downtown area).
The buildings included in Marcus' tour are:
1. The Aztec Hotel built in 1925. Listed on the National Register of Historic Landmarks. Monrovia Historic Landmark #10.
2. The 'Leven Oaks Hotel built in 1911. Now a residential care facility.
3. 136 N. Ivy, built in 1912 by William A. Walker.
4. Grand View Hotel, no longer standing. Built in 1886, burned down in a fire in 1916.
5. Southern Counties Gas Company built in 1922. Served as district headquarters. Monrovia Historic Landmark #135.
6. Captain Johnson Home, built in 1887 by Captain Albert H. Johnson. Monrovia Historic Landmark #25
