38 Horatio West Court, 1919
140 Hollister Ave.
Architect: Irving Gill
Designated: 2 January 1979
"This is one of the finest remaining examples of architect Irving Gill's work in the Los Angeles area. Gill's work was heavily influenced by the region's Spanish Colonial Revival and Mission Revival architecture. Abstracting elements of these styles, his designs were modern interpretations of these more traditional forms. This property also shows Gill's interest in designing affordable alternatives to the single-family home. On the first floor of the two-story homes French doors lead from living areas onto an enclosed terrace. In the 1970's, the buildings were restored.
"Horatio West Court is on the National Register of Historic Places in 1977."
