EDWARD HALE FICKETT, FAIA (1916-1999)
PALM PARK, WHITTIER CA
In 1950, architect Edward Fickett designed 90 two- and three-bedroom homes for the Secrest Construction Company as part of a new development in Whittier. According to a Los Angeles Times article dated April 16, 1950, Francis C. and Marguerita Tomlinson sold their 15-acre orange grove—located on Palm Street between Broadway and Beverly Boulevard—to Secrest for this project. The housing tract was centered around what became Palm Park, later donated to the City of Whittier. The park offered a wide range of recreational amenities, including children’s play equipment, a softball field, basketball court, lighted tennis courts, a par-3 golf course, horseshoe pits, and picnic areas equipped with barbecues. (See "New Whittier Tract Planned," Los Angeles Times, 04/16/1950, p. D7.)
