Westwood Village in the district of Westwood that is north of Wilshire Boulevard. It is one of LA’s most pleasant neighborhoods for a nice walk or stroll. Most of the low brick buildings were built in the late 1920s in Spanish Colonial Revival style. Today, while much of the original architecture remains intact, fancier boutique shops and fast-food joints have moved in. Architectural highlights include the Spanish Romanesque building with a cylindrical tower and red-tile roof at 1150 Westwood Boulevard and the Dome at 1099 Westwood Boulevard.[1]
Attractions
Fox Westwood Village Theatre
Broxton Avenue is Westwood Village’s main strip where you’ll find movie houses, record stores, diners, and cookie shops, highlighted by the 1931 Fox Westwood Village Theatre at 961 Broxton Avenue with its impressive Moderne design and Zigzag spire.[2]
Bruin Theatre
Across the street from the Fox Westwood Village Theatre, you’ll find the Bruin Theatre with its iconic neon “Bruin” sign. Both theatres are often used by movie studios for movie premieres as well as sneak previews for test audiences.[3]
Tischler House
The Tischler House at 175 Greenfield Avenue is a historic structure in Westwood Village designed by the famous R.M. Schindler, the pupil of Frank Lloyd Wright. The building resembles an abstract boat. It has thick white rectangles that jut out from the base and a wooden-gabled living space on top that represents a ship’s upper deck.[4]
