It should come as no surprise that one of Beachwood Canyon’s most unique apartment buildings was envisioned by an artist.
In 1925, commercial illustrator John C. Hill and his wife Delia built the Moorish four-family residence at 2260 Beachwood Drive, with plenty of charm in each unit: rooms finished in Philippine mahogany, tiled bathrooms, breakfast nook, large private porch which could be used for sleeping purposes, and a share in the broad and deep front entry. According to a 1927 ad, a unit rented for $85/month.
Set back 80 feet from the street, it promised occupants “comparative quiet” from the bustling Beachwood Drive. Behind the building, a six-car garage also offered ample turning space.
