News of an older Polynesian-styled apartment complex in La Habra, CA (east of Whittier) - sadly it is now re-designed. ....

With the transformation was a name change to Casa Nicolina. *

If you put the following address in google maps, the street view option will show remanants of any former glory, particularly the A-framed structure.

1510 W La Habra Blvd, La Habra, Orange, California 90631

Dang, Vern, I'm bummed I missed that one in time to catch the name ON the building, the term TIKI on apartments was relatively rare. Zulu, did you know about this place?
Thanks again for your long-distance archeology, Vern. :)
