616 South June Street (3rd)
- Plans for the third of three successive residences built on Lot 8 in Tract 7040 and addressed 616 South June Street were initiated in 2016. (Tract 7040 was a re-subdivision of Tract 6388; 7040's Lot 8 was originally Lot 160 of Tract 6388.) The first 616 was built in 1928 and the second in 1963
- On September 6, 2016, the Department of Building and Safety issued the owner of 616 South June Street as of that date a demolition permit for the 53-year-old house and garage that had been built on the lot in 1963. On the following day, permits were issued to the owner for a new two-story residence and a detached garage with recreation room; certificates of occupancy were granted in the fall of 2021. The house's retro design might be called Hancock Park Italianate Revival that, despite the heavy-handed treatment of the center bay and portico, could be called a successful attempt to blend in with the neighborhood vernacular
