Built: 1949  Declared: 02/14/2012

Built in 1949, this one-story single-family Brentwood residence in the International Style was designed by noted architects A. Quincy Jones and Whitney R. Smith, with engineer Edgardo Contini. The house is rectangular in plan, with a low gabled roof, and covered in composition shingles. The Monument is part of the Crestwood Hills development, the only successful large-scale cooperative housing development in California and a neighborhood that today has a high concentration of significant modernist residential architecture, including 14 other HCMs.
