Bradbury House, Spanish Colonial Revival residence in Pacific Palisades, Los Angeles, United States.
Bradbury House is a Spanish Colonial Revival residence in Pacific Palisades featuring white stucco walls, wooden casement windows, and a clay tile roof. The building wraps around a central courtyard in a U-shaped configuration.
The residence was built in 1923 by architect John Byers for Lewis L Bradbury Jr., whose father had commissioned the celebrated Bradbury Building in downtown Los Angeles. This family connection placed the house within a lineage of prominent architectural patronage.
Decorative tiles in the California style accent the walls, doorways, and stairs throughout the residence. These crafted details shape the spaces you move through as you explore the home.
The residence sits on a bluff along Ocean Way with views toward the Pacific Ocean and occupies a 0.4 acre property. It underwent comprehensive restoration following the 1994 earthquake, ensuring its solid structural condition.
The central courtyard drew inspiration from a 16th-century architectural concept from the El Greco Museum in Toledo. This historical reference reveals how California architects adapted European design ideas to local settings.
