Why Torrance Homes Get Retrofitted
Torrance has two housing eras. Old Torrance was laid out in 1912 and still has homes from the 1910s and 1920s, while most of the rest of the city is 1950s tract housing. Both eras include raised-foundation homes built before bolting was required.
The Palos Verdes Fault runs along the south edge of Torrance at the base of the Palos Verdes Hills, and a pair of 1941 earthquakes centered near Torrance and Gardena damaged buildings in the old downtown.
