Silver Lake Moderne Home. The Skinner House, 1937. William Kesling, Architect. Los Angeles Historical-Cultural Monument #856. Streamline Moderne was both a reaction to Art Deco and a reflection of austere economic times. Gone was unnecessary ornament. Sharp angles were replaced with simple, aerodynamic curves. Ultimately, the designs were horizontal in their orientation, serving as a precursor to the modernist movement that would begin in earnest a decade later.

Expansive glass, wood-clad walls and an original fireplace highlight the living room. Hardwood parquet flooring, a magnesite stairway with a chrome railing create a focal point for the space.

A museum-quality testament to the period and includes 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms.

Original gallery style kitchen, showcases classic circular elements and deco styling.

The later addition of a step-down den with exposure to the lush garden adds square footage and creates a perfect private escape.

Private landscaped patio with fountain. The property benefits from substantial Mills Act property tax savings.
