The Hlaffer-Courcier Residence is a 1923 Storybook house at 2574 Glendower Avenue in Hollywood, one of the whimsical fairy-tale-style homes that flourished in the neighborhood in the 1920s. The city named it Los Angeles Historic-Cultural Monument #1069 in 2014, protecting its distinctive massing and ornament.
the style
Storybook houses are a whimsical strand of 1920s Southern California residential design, built to evoke fairy-tale cottages rather than any single historical precedent. This house's storybook massing and ornament are what earned it individual monument status rather than blending anonymously into a larger historic district.
significance
Designated Los Angeles Historic-Cultural Monument #1069 on June 24, 2014, giving the house individual landmark protection in Hollywood.
