Regarding Doumakes House. The Doumakes House was built for James Doumakes (1879- 1956), a Greek immigrant who arrived in the United States in 1900. He acquired the property in 1927, and the family occupied the residence from 1928 until 1958.
James Doumakes was the founder of the Doumak Company, which grew to be one of the foremost manufacturers of marshmallows in the United States. The company was founded in Los Angeles in 1921 and has held at least two patents associated with the mass production of marshmallows. Today, the Doumak Company produces the Campfire brand and other private label marshmallows.
