El Greco Apartments, Historic apartment building in Fairfax district, Los Angeles, United States

The El Greco Apartments features Spanish Colonial Revival architecture with a red tile roof, stucco exteriors, and a decorative brick courtyard in Los Angeles.

Built in 1929 for Westwood Village, the twelve-unit structure was relocated to the Fairfax district in 1985 to preserve it from demolition.

The building housed notable film industry figures including director Michael Curtiz, actor Joel McCrea, and filmmaker Erich von Stroheim during its early years.

The apartment building now functions as specialized housing for senior citizens, managed by Alternative Living for the Aging since its renovation in 1986.

The entire structure was physically divided and transported across Los Angeles to save it from destruction, maintaining its architectural elements during the move.
