Additional Property Attributes

3.43 acres have been sold for commercial development. The county would like to sell additional acreage as interest in development and infrastructure becomes available.

Former Use: The Property is located in the former Babbitt Housing Area. At the present time it is vacant. The Property consists of approximately 16 acres and is a portion of APN 06-640-15. The Property is located between 21st and 26th Streets and Essex Avenue and Lexington Avenue. There are concrete walkways from the historic residential area located throughout the Property. Babbitt was constructed during World War II to provide housing for married civilian workers for the Naval Ammunition Plant, Hawthorne (Hawthorne Army Depot). During the period of 1940-1945, a total of 580 duplexes were constructed in the Babbitt area, 65 of those duplexes were located on the Property, as well as one small commercial building. The duplexes were rectangular (27 x 55 feet), one story, wood d, asbestos sided buildings set on concrete foundations. The buildings were topped with gabled roofs covered with asbestos shingles. At the conclusion of the Korean Conflict, the Navy began disposing of whole blocks of vacant Babbitt housing units by selling the houses and the new owners were required to remove the structures from the site. The last occupant moved from Babbitt in June of 1987. Some of the buildings deemed not suitable for sale were demolished. This included the majority of the commercial buildings. The last buildings were removed in July, 1994. During the demolition work done in 1994 there was antidotal information that some building debris was buried in the Babbitt area. The Phase I and Phase II was able to document that there was no buried hazardous material .
