It is also presented as a notable, intact example of Renaissance Revival residential architecture and an excellent early work of the Walker and Eisen firm (Criterion C).","narrative":"Built in 1923 at Yucca Street and Cahuenga Boulevard in Hollywood, the Halifax Apartments is a four-story, U-shaped residential building designed by the Los Angeles firm Walker and Eisen. Originally known as the Cross Arms Apartments, it cost $225,000 to build and was marketed as a furnished apartment house with maid service, garage space and an elegant lobby. Its facades follow a Renaissance Revival base, shaft and capital pattern: scored concrete at the ground floor, brick in the middle floors, and arched windows with pilasters at the top. Inside, the lobby keeps terrazzo floors, plaster medallions, a Palladian-style portal and a decorative fireplace. The building was listed for its link to Hollywood's 1920s growth, when the film industry created demand for nearby upscale housing, and for its architecture. It is described as one of the earliest Hollywood apartment houses in a comparison of over forty buildings and as one of the best-preserved Renaissance Revival examples. A 1997 certified rehabilitation reconfigured the units while keeping historic features.","period_of_significance":"1923-1945","architect_builder":"Walker and Eisen, architects","architectural_style":"Late 19th and 20th Century Revivals: Italian Renaissance (Renaissance Revival)","criteria":["A","C"],"status_note":"Rehabilitated in 1997 as affordable housing for larger families; units reduced from 79 to 46.
