The Strathmore Apartments is a historic 8-unit multi-family complex located at 11005-11013 1/2 Strathmore Drive in the Westwood neighborhood of Los Angeles, California. Notable past residents, amongst others, include John Entenza, Charles Eames, Ray Eames, Luise Rainer, Clifford Odets, and Orson Welles.[2][3][4]

The building is a part of a collection of homes designed by Los Angeles based modernist architect, Richard Neutra, and built in North West Westwood Village, which includes the Landfair Apartments, Elkay Apartments, and Kelton Apartments.[3]

History

The Strathmore Apartments was designed in 1937 in the international style of architecture by Los Angeles architect Richard Neutra. He was commissioned by the landowner to design a 4-unit building and added another four units next to the building for himself when he realized the lot was available.[2][3] The complex includes a modern bungalow court.[5] The early occupants, including Neutra's extended family members and actress Luise Rainer, has called the architectural style "cold" and "industrial."[4]

UCLA Oceanographic and Atmospheric scientists later converted four of the eight units into condos, believed to be the first and only condo conversions done unto a Neutra building.[6][7][2]

On April 8, 1988, the City of Los Angeles designated the complex a Los Angeles Historic-Cultural Monument.[3] [5] [8]
