"Notes on how things seem from out here in Hollywood..."

Norma Talmadge Glamour

Harper House (1929), 1334-36 North Harper Avenue

A year after completing plans for La Fontaine and Romanesque Villa, Leland Bryant designed another apartment building in the district called Casa Granada. The restrained Churriqueresque styling evoked a luxury and glamour sought by film industry professionals such as Joe E. Brown, Jeanette Loff, Norma Talmadge and Gilbert Roland. What sets this design apart from his others is the incorporation of a courtyard into the foot of the L-shaped building. The courtyard acts as an outdoor foyer for the apartment units that have individual entrances.

If you use any of these photos for commercial purposes I assume you'll discuss that with me.

These were shot with a Nikon D70 - using lens (1) AF-S Nikkor 18-70 mm 1:35-4.5G ED, or (2) AF Nikkor 70-300mm telephoto, or after 5 June 2006, (3) AF-S DX Zoom-Nikkor, 55-200 mm f/4-5.6G ED. They were modified for web posting using Adobe Photoshop 7.0

The original large-format raw files are available upon request.
