The Crestwood Hills Association has always been an active advocate for the interests of the neighborhood and maintaining its tranquil quality of life.

We ask that you show your support for the Crestwood Hills Association (CHA) by paying your dues on a regular basis. Your $75 payment helps the CHA accomplish many things. Among them: > We support the Conditions, Covenants, and Restrictions (CC&Rs) attached to the deed of each property in our neighborhood, and assist our architectural committees and tree committees to that end; > We publish the Crestwood Hills Views Newsletter and Directory, and maintain the crestwoodhills.com website; > We maintain a preferential enrollment agreement for CHA members’ children with the Crestwood Hills Cooperative Nursery School (founded by Crestwood Hills residents); > We finance and coordinate annual brush clearance and tree trimming in neighborhood common areas; > We maintain a seat on the board of the Brentwood Community Council and represent our neighborhood’s interest to city and county officials; > We organize picnics, parties, and other social events including an annual softball game; > We maintain a fascinating archive.

  • Gordon-Drake Biblio
    2010 Gordon Drake: An Annotated & Illustrated Bibliography Compiled and annotated by John Crosse Gordon Drake: An Annotated & Illustrated Bibliography (Uncorrected Proof – Not for Sale) Gordon Drake, circa 1950, Courtesy .Betsy Roeth Compiled, Annotated & Illustrated by John Crosse ©2010 modern-ISM Press 6333 Esplanade Playa del Rey, CA 90293 [email protected] 310-301-6339 Gordon Drake obituary, House & Home, March, 1952, p. 95. (From my collection). Introduction My introduction to Gordon Drake came through working on a book with Julius Shulman in which I plan to collect all of the covers his photos have appeared on. I have found over 800 to date. I spent many days in Shulman’s studio in his Raphael Soriano-designed home interviewing him and researching in his extensive studio archives of magazine tear sheets and compiled an annotated bibliography of 8,000 items resulting from his 7,000 assignments. Through this process it became clear that Shulman was a very close friend with Drake. Consequently, he spent much more time on his work for Drake and made full use of his editorial contacts to get Drake’s work published which helped garner numerous awards for the young architect beginning with his first project, his personal residence in Los Angeles seen on the cover of this bibliography. Shulman went on to complete seven assignments for Drake and collaborated on close to a hundred articles with him published all over the world. The partnership is a case study in the generation of publicity and use of marketing which benefited both men’s careers. The following is excerpted from my related blog post “The Post-War Publicity Partnership of Julius Shulman and Gordon Drake.” Gordon Drake burst onto the Los Angeles architectural scene in 1946 by winning Progressive Architecture's First Annual Award competition with his personal residence in Beverly Glen, his very first house.

    2009 JOHN LAUTNER: An Annotated Bibliography Compiled and Annotated by John Crosse Wolff Residence (see item 220.) 2 John Lautner: An Annotated Bibliography (Uncorrected Proof – Not for Sale) Chemosphere (Malin House) (see item 136.) Compiled and Annotated by John Crosse ©2009 modern-ISM Press 6333 Esplanade Playa del Rey, CA 90293 [email protected] 310-301-6339 3 Introduction The 2008 Hammer exhibition “Between Earth and Heaven: The Architecture of John Lautner” and Getty-Hammer Symposium “Against Reason: John Lautner and Postwar Architecture” created a flood of publicity and generated much renewed interest in Lautner‟s life and work. It also motivated me to look deeper into the literature for information on this unique and creative genius. A logical starting point for me was to perform a “Lautner” search in my 8,000 item “Julius Shulman Annotated Bibliography” prepared while researching a book on Shulman cover photos. The search resulted in 275 articles with Shulman photos of Lautner projects. Shulman has logged close to 75 assignments on Lautner projects over the years for various clients ranging from Lautner himself to book and article authors, magazine editors, newspaper reporters, exhibition curators, homeowners and realtors. He also used his considerable marketing skills and contacts with publishers and editors to help spread the gospel of modernism according to Lautner to a global audience. This bibliography compiles my Shulman-Lautner findings with the excellent bibliographic foundation laid by Ludolf von Alvensleben in the 1991 Viennese exhibition catalog “John Lautner: Architect: Los Angeles”, “John Lautner, Architect” with text by Lautner and edited by Frank Escher and the John Lautner Foundation web site.

The establishment of historic contexts is vital to targeting survey Historic Context for Multi-Family Housing work effectively. The City of West Hollywood has identifi ed several historic contexts as part of its Preservation Plan (1998), including Residential Architecture. To aid in the evaluation of signifi cance within the City’s R2, R3, and R4-zoned areas, a context statement has been developed that focuses on the 505 Alfred history of multi-family housing in West Hollywood and the (All current photographs by Architectural Los Angeles region as well as the architectural character of the Resources Group.) survey areas. Historic contexts are broad patterns of historical development in a community or a region that may be represented by historical resources and can be identifi ed through consideration of the history of individual properties or groupings of properties within the surrounding area. The establishment of these contexts provides the foundation for decision-making concerning the planning, identifi cation, evaluation, restoration, registration, and treatment of historic properties, based upon comparative signifi cance. Historic contexts can be developed 1001 Gardner for all types of resources including, but not limited to, buildings, structures, objects, sites and historic districts. The methodology for developing historic contexts does not vary greatly with different resource types, and they may relate to any of the four National or California Register criteria, as well as any established local criteria of evaluation.
