Why Monrovia Homes Get Retrofitted
Monrovia was incorporated in 1887, which makes it one of the oldest cities in Los Angeles County, and it shows in the housing. Victorian and Craftsman homes from before 1930 fill the streets north of downtown, almost all on raised foundations.
The Sierra Madre Fault Zone runs along the foothills at Monrovia's north edge, and the 1991 Sierra Madre earthquake cracked chimneys and damaged older homes across the city.
