If home was only Val d'Amour

843 s oxford

Val d'Amour apartments were built in 1928 by CW Powers and given historical monument status in 2006. I love the facade and the figures along the parapet. Drive by 854 South Oxford Ave at James M Wood in Koreatown.

Whoa! You were right next to my house! You should have said hello! I do love those buildings. Mine has this great American Splendor-esque fading 40s sign on the side...Villa Milan...

When I moved to L.A. in 1973 I knew a costume designer who lived here. Fabulous apartment with huge rooms, parquet floors, and Parisian natural lighting. I understand that it has gone through some hard times since. They advertise 1 bedrooms and studios now but I remember it was a two-bedroom with a long hallway.
