About

Colonial Chiropractic is located in the historic “Howard Building” at 11000 Riverside Dr. on the South-West corner of Riverside and Vineland in West Toluca Lake, CA. The practice was founded in 1963 by Dr. Carl Howard Jr D.C. who retired in 2013 and passed in 2022. The historic “Howard Building” was built by the Pacific Electric Railway Company in 1911 and was originally “North Hollywood Substation No.30” on the “Red Car Line”. The building was purchased in 1954 by Carl Howard Sr. who along with his father Otis Howard, added the insides of the building to what was a concrete shell. 8 “colonial style” columns were added in the mid-fifties giving the building a Colonial look, and the building was named the “Howard Colonial”, hence the name “Colonial Chiropractic”. Following an auto accident in 2023 which took out one of the columns, the remaining columns were removed and the building was renovated, restoring the building to its original architecture.
