FROM A FARMER S BUNGALOW TO A VIBRANT RESTAURANT AND BAR The Attic continues a neighborhood tradition when Charles and Elsie Sherwood built this bungalow in 1918, the intersection of Broadway and Redondo served as the shopping hub for the toney neighborhood of Belmont Heights. Broadway was zoned for mixed use as far east as Belmont Avenue, and this little bungalow was well situated for residential and business interests. Former farmers from Colorado, the Sherwood s settled in to life in Long Beach, with Charles dabbling in house painting during the 1920s. Beginning in 1929, however, 3441 E. Broadway served as a home to a number of entrepreneurs, and as a place of business for a myriad of trades and services. For example: 1929 - John Telegdi and his wife, Helen, lived here for a year. He was a conductor for the Pacific Electric Railway, with its connecting spur running the length of nearby Redondo. 1930 Edgar and Maranda LeWarton operated a chiropractic office here. 1935 Ethyl M. Bramble, along with her son, Max, opened a beauty shop in the dining room. 1936 The Depression often meant tight quarters: William and Laura Service lived here with their 3 grown children (Ruth, beauty operator; Betty; and Dorothy, a stenographer). 1938 Breads, cookies and pies were available at Ethel Banes bakery. 1940 Former Iowans, Sylvester and Emily Hilliard, along with their adult children, Eleanor and Richard, built homes in the area. Sylvester s brother, Charles, operated a real estate office just a few doors down at 3417 E. Broadway. By the 1950s, Sylvester had left the building trade for insurance sales. 1960s Raymond and Alice Johnson lived in the house while Raymond worked as a bookkeeper for the McKenzie Oil Co. The area experienced a downturn during this time, as many families preferred newer housing in the suburbs. 3441 E. Broadway was advertised for rent as a 2-bedroom home, with the advantage of being zoned for business. Mrs. Nancy Brugger, employed by the Press Telegram, lived here for a time. 1970s - Pioneer developer and oilman, James Wood, converted the house from a residence to offices, renting it to various businesses. Alden and Sally Oberjuerge leveraged their 2nd Street Chevron Station, starting the Oberjuerge Auto Repair on Redondo in 1972. In 1996 they converted the house at 3441 E. Broadway to the fine dining American restaurant, Lashers, owned and operated by Ray and Lynn Lasher. 2012 - Steve Massis set a new place at the table with The Attic. He and his award-winning team carry on the tradition of local cooking, local business, local hot spot at the corner of Broadway and Newport.
