Havenhurst Drive in West Hollywood, Los Angeles County, California. It was begun in 1930 and designed by architect Leland Bryant.","why_significant":"The nomination argues the building is a surviving example of the luxury apartment hotels built for Hollywood's film industry in the 1920s and 1930s. It is valued for its period architecture, its detailing, and its association with film-industry residents. It is also seen as a visual symbol of Hollywood's heyday and a lifestyle that has largely disappeared.","narrative":"Colonial House is a seven-story brick apartment building at 1416 N. Havenhurst Drive, now in West Hollywood. Begun in 1930 and designed by Leland Bryant, it is built in a French Colonial style, with a symmetrical facade, small-paned casement windows, green shutters with shamrock cutouts, ceramic medallions and brick grilles. A brick terrace with a fountain of two cherubs and a wrought iron balcony overlook the courtyard garden. Inside, a wrought iron circular staircase rises to the seventh floor, and the twenty units share brass fixtures, carved moldings, beamed ceilings and French fireplaces. The building was among the last of its kind finished before the Depression and was one of the luxury apartment hotels created for film-industry figures who moved between New York and California. Early residents included Clark Gable, Joan Blondell and Eddie Cantor. It was listed for its period architecture, its place in Hollywood's image during the era of talking pictures, and its continuing use as a residence.","period_of_significance":"1900- (specific date 1930)","architect_builder":"Leland Bryant","architectural_style":"French Colonial","criteria":[],"status_note":"Rated excellent condition, occupied, and used as a private residence; it is now a condominium with twenty units, and the interior has been altered very little.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:55:31.470242-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_CA/82002190.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/82002190/6e5503576a-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/82002190/6e5503576a-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 3.0","author":"Los Angeles","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Colonial_House,_West_Hollywood.JPG\" rel=\"noopener\">Los Angeles</a>, <a href=\"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0\" rel=\"license noopener\">CC BY-SA 3.0</a>, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Colonial_House,_West_Hollywood.JPG"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/123859041","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colonial_House_(West_Hollywood,_California)","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q26955576"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/california/los-angeles-county/colonial-house-82002190/"}
