Courtyard view of the Spanish style Grauman Court bungalow apartments in Hollywood. Built in 1922, the thirteen-unit residential court financed by oilman Sid Grauman is located on Melrose between Alexandria and Kenmore Avenues. This complex also includes a group of seven stores on the corner of Kenmore and Melrose. At the entrance of the courtyard, there is a completely furnished doctor's apartment (in background), provided with waiting areas and medical offices located on the second level. The gardens, full of popular California shrubs, flowers and tress, were designed by Beverly Hills Nursery Company. The statue, seen in the center of the image, is insured by Mr. Grauman for $15,000 as it took first prize at the 1915 Panama-Pacific International Exposition in San Francisco.
