Cortez even more confused

In my explorations of Los Angeles homes that look like homes from other lands, I have found Barcelona before. But that was old Barthelona. I would now like to show you 20th century Barcelona in Los Angeles, courtesy of architect Charles Whittlesey and the Burrows Residence just around the corner from me:

I have mixed feelings about this place being made by an actual architect rather than just a kook with a bunch of grout and broken crockery, but I suppose it’s safer for the current inhabitants this way. Also, I guess 20th century is kind of old at this point, but do keep in mind that in America we’ve got some catching up to do.

  1. Hello, my fellow Angeleno — thanks for the link to my Burrows Residence/Silverlake post!

    • Thanks for writing about it – besides your post, there’s precious little info online about that beauty.

  2. Gaudi of the ghetto.
    Very nice. :)
