Hollywood Hills
Promontories above the Strip, and canyon houses from Laurel Canyon to Nichols Canyon.
Living in Hollywood Hills
The Hollywood Hills climb from Sunset and Hollywood boulevards into the Santa Monica Mountains, cut by Laurel, Nichols and Beachwood canyons and split by the Cahuenga Pass. Mulholland Drive, opened in 1924, follows the ridge. The Hollywood Sign went up on Mount Lee in 1923 reading “Hollywoodland,” an advertisement for a hillside housing tract, and lost its last four letters in 1949.
Below the sign, the Hollywood Reservoir sits behind Mulholland Dam, finished in 1924; the Hollywood Bowl has held concerts on Highland Avenue since 1922; and Runyon Canyon Park runs from the top of Fuller Avenue up to Mulholland. Whitley Heights, built from 1918 as a Mediterranean-style hillside village, is a city Historic Preservation Overlay Zone, and the Bird Streets climb above the Sunset Strip.
The houses run from 1920s Spanish Colonial Revival, as in Whitley Heights, to postwar modernism. Pierre Koenig’s Stahl House of 1960 — Case Study House No. 22 — stands on Woods Drive, and John Lautner’s Chemosphere, also from 1960, is a one-story octagon raised on a single concrete column near Mulholland, on the Valley side of the hills.
