The first recorded residence in Wilshire Park was built in 1908. The transitional Prairie School style home (right) is an example of the work of architect Lloyd Wright. The neighborhood also features a 1938 apartment complex by the only female architect in Los Angeles at the time, Edith Mortensen Northman. Most of Wilshire Park was fully built out by 1926.

Wilshire Park was designated a Los Angeles Historic Preservation Overlay Zone (HPOZ) in 2008, by a unanimous vote of the Los Angeles City Council. Since 2002, residents had begun advocating the creation of a Wilshire Park historic district in order to prevent teardowns and to encourage residents to only make exterior changes to their homes consistent with the historical period and architectural style of those homes. Wilshire Park was granted an Interim Control Ordinance on November 13, 2006.

Wilshire Park became the first neighborhood in Los Angeles history in which residents conducted and completed their own survey and analysis of each home and parcel, overseen by a professional architectural consulting group. This Survey of Historic Resources was completely self-funded, utilizing no funds from the city.
