The home was built circa 1925, which would make it one of the very first homes built in the area and only just after the original shell of the Hollywood Bowl was constructed in 1921.
2621 N Vermont Avenue was built by Theodore J. Scott. Sometimes referred to as T.J. Scott or Theo Scott. Scott was one of Los Angeles’ most prolific architects of the Roaring 1920s, although you may not yet have heard his name. The unsung Scott designed hundreds, possibly thousands of homes including entire streets and neighborhoods. He was the principal architect of the old Beverly Speedway property developed by Walter G. McCarty and a large tract of land in the vicinity of Kenneth Road in Glendale owned by H.L. Miller. Scott designed a Spanish Revival villa in Bel-Air for silent screen actress Colleen Moore Mansion at 345 St. Pierre Road which recently was listed for sale for $13,800,000.
Scott was adept at all the popular “revival” styles of the period, particularly the Spanish, often employing Missionesque arched arcades/loggias running along the length of at least one section of a house. This bold and brilliant brick English Tudor Revival style home is a commanding and dramatic display of Scott at the height of his powers. With its steeply pitched roof, playfully elaborate masonry chimneys, and other period embellishments, it remains a signature home of Scott’s and a distinguished property in this neighborhood, which includes Frank Lloyd Wright’s Ennis House and Richard Neutra’s Lovell House as nearby neighbors.
And although the home will celebrate its centennial anniversary soon, it has been gloriously updated throughout.
The dramatic two-story entry leads to a grand step-down living room that features custom illuminated bookshelves by renowned architectural firm Project Room LA. Project Room LA is the architectural firm who recently won the LA streetlight design competition.
