Built: 1962  Declared: 07/30/2014

This “own-your-own” apartment building in Hollywood is designed in the Tiki/Polynesian style, built in 1962 near the height of the style’s popularity. It is highly intact and features touches such as lava rock walls and planters, large mosaic tropical scenes in the entryway, tile bamboo decoration, and cast stone elements evoking coral and shell.
