It has eight contributing apartment buildings, one contributing garage with an attached dwelling, and two non-contributing apartment buildings.","why_significant":"The district is described as the only concentration of 1920s-era apartment buildings of its kind in West Hollywood. It shows period revival apartment design, mainly Spanish Colonial Revival, Mediterranean Revival and Chateauesque, including courtyard apartments. It includes works by architect Leland A. Bryant and by Arthur and Nina Zwebell.","narrative":"This West Hollywood district groups apartment buildings along North Harper Avenue and the north side of Fountain Avenue. Eight contributing apartment buildings and a garage with an attached dwelling were built between 1923 and 1931. They range from one to four stories and fill most of their lots, with towers, courtyards, balconies and landscaping. Styles include Spanish Colonial Revival, Mediterranean Revival and Chateauesque. Mexican Village (1923) was the first of the group. Patio del Moro (1925) has Moorish detailing and is also listed individually. Les Maisonettes (1927) is Chateauesque and has a detached garage. Leland A. Bryant designed several of the buildings, and Arthur and Nina Zwebell designed Mexican Village and Patio del Moro. The surrounding area was mostly single-family houses in the period of significance and is now dense with later apartments. The nomination describes this cluster as the only grouping of its kind in West Hollywood. Two newer apartment buildings do not contribute but are said not to detract from the district's character.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":"Leland A.
