Echo Park’s mid-century loving councilman

Eric Garcetti gets plenty of attention as President of the Los Angeles City Council. Now, his Elysian Heights home is also in the spotlight. The mid-century house that he expanded and remodeled with partner Amy Wakeland is the subject of a web photo spread on green architecture. It should come as no surprise that the home of our hybrid-driving councilman comes with many eco-friendly features, including a deck made out of “responsibly harvested wood” and solar panels atop the carport (to power that hybrid.)
