One
of six remaining Spanish revival courtyard buildings
designed in the 1920’s by Arthur and Nina
Zwebell.
The
one, two and three bedroom units incorporate 2-story
living spaces, mezzanines and graceful staircases.
Private porches, patios, balconies and other extensions
amplify interior spaces and capitalize on views
of the central courtyard. All interiors are skillfully
modeled in light with lunette, baroque and other
varieties of window openings. Also included: original
tile, ironwork & fixtures, exposed timber
ceilings, private & semi-private patios, and
large wood-burning fireplaces.
El
Cabrillo is
steeped in Hollywood history - one of the Talmadge
sisters lived here, Hollywood lore connects the
name of Cecil B. DeMille’s daughter with
this building, and at least one of Rudolph Valentino’s
films is alleged to have used it as a stage set.
