Suffragettes Unite! 6140 Garrison is located on the “Andes staircase”, named in the early 1900s by one of the first female land developers and influential suffragette Cora Scott Pond-Pope. After organizing 85 suffragette leagues in Boston, Pond-Pope came to California. Streets in Mount Angelus were named after influential people in her life. The Andes staircase provides entry for two homes - accessible from both Garrison and Lamont Drive. Cora Scott Pond-Pope would be amazed with today’s Highland Park culture and lifestyle!
