Drive-by Architecture: Cloverdale

364 s cloverdale

Another deco building by CJ Smale that quietly makes a spectacle of itself. I talked to Philippe (or maybe he said Flip), a resident, who assured me that the apartments are really spacious with high ceilings. Built in 1930, it's been Historic Cultural Monument no 427 since 1989. The penthouse used to be Fred Astaire's dance studio.
Drive South on Cloverdale from 3rd St (one way) to see 364 South Cloverdale Ave.

Another white deco jewel by architect CJ Smale at 191 Hudson Ave at 2nd St in Hancock Park. Built in 1929-1930. Check out amazing stained glass window and gated carport.
