In the 1930s, eight 2-story duplexes were built on 1st and 2nd Streets for residential staff of the National Leprosarium.

1st Street was reserved for doctors and their familys; 2nd Street was reserved for the chief engineers who kept the utilities running.

The duplexes still stand on site and are now reserved for the LA National Guardsmen and State of LA employees who work on site (Gillis W. Long Military Center).
