9 Horatio West Court
140 Hollister Ave.
Built: Circa 1919
Architect: Irving Gill
Designated 1 February 1979
"Horatio West Court is among the finest remaining examples of Irving Gill's work in the Los Angeles area. Gill's work throughout Southern California was heavily influenced by the region's Spanish Colonial Revival and Mission Revival architecture. Abstracting elements of these styles, his designs were a modern interpretation of these more traditional forms. In addition, Horatio West Court exemplifies 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. The two large upstairs bedrooms face north onto a sunporch which was glassed in during the 1920's. In the 1970's, the buildings were restored to their present state. Horatio West Court is listed on the National Register of Historic Places." p. 6
