Silver Lake Architecture - 443 - McAlmon Residence, Rudolph Schindler 1936

This striking property demonstrated Schindler's ability to take a small insignificant single family home and transform it into a hip International style duplex. With the addition of overhanging roofs and other Schindler trademarks, the architect has created a very pleasing design.

The garage and old house occupy the front of the lot. A new living room enlarges the house and serves to 'mask the old front.' The new construction was placed in the back of the lot in order to take advantage of the spectacular mountain vews to the east.

The McAlmon Residence is located at 2717-2721 Waverly Drive.
