The upcoming holidays offer us all a chance to gather with friends and families, reflecting on our shared bonds and making new memories. Next December the Riviera Homeowners Association will celebrate the 80th anniversary of its first meeting, which was held on Monday, December 10, 1945. The gathering was covered in the Dec. 13th issue of the Torrance Herald, with William Edwards, living at 266 Via Buena Ventura, elected as president, and Lottie Peterson to serve as the group’s secretary/treasurer. 

The primary discussions of the Association involved the continuing development of the Hollywood Riviera, including architectural stylings, water management, and the formation of the Association’s bylaws. If you’re interested in learning more details about the RHA’s foundational years, minutes of meetings from 1946-1953 are available on this site by clicking here.  

We hope the holidays bring you joy in spending time with friends, families, and our Riviera community! 

Elizabeth “Libby” Spatz, RHA President
