HISTORY

The architecture of Silver Lake
developed hand-in-hand
with the film industry.
Like a mighty wave,
the creative individuals
captivated by the magic
of Hollywood were drawn
by the thousands to
Southern California
to 'make their mark'
seeking employment
but also needing a place
to call home.
The beautiful hillsides
of Hollywood, Los Feliz
and Silver Lake
were often the prefered locations
for these early pioneers.
As Los Feliz and the Hollywood
Hills became too pricey,
homebuyers and renters
looked eastward towards
Silver Lake.
At the same time,
as new architectural styles
were coming into fashion,
the architects
who were designing them
found greater acceptance
for their often avante garde
designs in the cultural
mix of Los Angeles.
As a result, the works
of modernist pioneers
Gregory Ain, R.M. Schindler,
Raphael Soriano, John Lautner,
and Richard Neutra
are literally sprinkled
throughout our hillsides.
Following in their footsteps,
a new generation of architects
has emerged:
Gustavo Gubel,
Sean Briski, John Southern,
Barbara Bestor, Ana Henton,
and many more.
These images will help you
appreciate our architectural
heritage and the new innovators
that continue to interpret
and exemplify beautiful
architectural design.

In today's challenging real estate market,
selecting the right agent
is your most important decision.
It can make all the difference in the world.
