CRESTWOOD HILLS, LOS ANGELES CA


USModernist

Crestwood Hills is an 825-acre neighborhood begun in the late 1940s by four musicians, and eventually turned into a cooperative association that included 400 members in 500 homes. Only 160 were built and a fire in 1961 took out about 47. As of 2014, 33 remaned. The project was initially called the Mutual Housing Tract or Mutual Housing Association before changing to Crestwood Hills. Designed by Jones with Whitney Smith, engineer Edwardo Contini, James Charlton, Wayne Williams, and landscape architect Garrett Eckbo. Featured in Arts & Architecture, September 1948, March 1949, and January 1952; Progressive Architecture, February 1951 and October 1983; and Architectural Record, April 1951.
