Went to the Spring Square Dance at HM154 last night. HM154 is California historical monument 154, an old Queen Anne Victorian house in Lincoln Heights that may have a history of 19th century murder. You can check out their website here.
They murder story goes something like this: The house may have once been owned by a man named Horace B. Dibble and the house is known as the Dibble House. Back in 1896, Dibble worked as a salesman in downtown L.A., where he got into a fight with a coworker and he ends up stabbing the guy to death. It was later decided that Dibble acted in self-defense. That's the story anyway. You can read about in more detail and see some more pictures of HM154 at the amazing L.A. historical monument blog Big Orange Landmarks.
