Blackburn Residence, Paul R. Williams, Architect 1927

Designed by Paul R. Williams, the 'Architect of the Stars' for Bruce and Lula Blackburn. (Mr. Blackburn's claim to fame is the invention of the rollup window screen). Williams designed the home in the Spanish Colonial Revival style, and set it in a lush tropical landsape in the hills of Los Feliz. Its most prominent feature is a two-story turreted tower. One of three residences located in Los Feliz that was honored with 'historical monument' status by the Los Angeles Cultural Heritage Commission in 2008, (the others are the Victor Rosetti Residence, also designed by Williams, and the Edward Petitfils Residence, also known as 'Los Pavoreales' designed by Wallace Neff in 1927).

 

The Blackburn Residence is located at 4791 Cromwell Avenue. Declared a Los Angeles Historic-Cultural Monument in 2008 (No,. 913).
