A Tale of Two Houses: Made in L.A.

As of this posting in December 2025, there are two houses for sale in Los Angeles a 15-minute drive from one another. One was built in the 1930s, the other in the 1950s. One an icon of Modern design, the other renovated to resemble an Austrian chalet. Each house has been privately owned for over a half century. And each in their way helped define the post-war aesthetic of the city.
