The Hermoyne Apartments
The Hermoyne Apartments is a historic apartment-hotel in Los Angeles, California. It is located at 569 North Rossmore Avenue.[1]
History
[edit]The Hermoyne Apartments were erected at the intersection of Rossmore Avenue and North Rosewood Avenue[2] in 1929, underwritten by Herbert "H.B." Squires, whose personal company was "one of the largest purveyors of electric equipment to the motion picture and other large industries in the 1920s."[3] Originally 156 rooms, with 54 apartments, the seven-story facade allegedly cost $425,000 to build. It featured the rare amenity at the time of underground parking.[4] San Francisco architect[5] Leonard L. Jones designed the building and the building's "twin," Castle Argyle Arms at 1919 North Argyle Ave.[1] as well as the Norton Flats.[1]
Legacy
[edit]The Hermoyne is still an operational residential apartment structure and is managed by Harrison Properties.[6]
