The city's landmark King memorial stands in the Civic Center plaza on Compton Blvd between Acacia and Willowbrook Aves, beside City Hall and the Compton Library. A short walk away, at Willowbrook Ave and Myrrh St, is the Heritage House (1869), Compton's oldest home and a state historic landmark, viewable from outside.
