The Ravenswood, Art Deco apartment building in Hancock Park, Los Angeles, US.

The Ravenswood stands at 570 North Rossmore Avenue, featuring geometric patterns and decorative elements characteristic of 1930s architectural design.

Paramount Pictures commissioned architect Max Maltzman to construct this residential building in 1930, just five blocks from their main studios.

Actress Mae West resided in the penthouse from 1930 to 1980, later purchasing the entire building to prevent discriminatory practices against her guests.

The building maintains its original residential function, offering apartments near public transportation and multiple entertainment venues in Los Angeles.

Los Angeles designated The Ravenswood as a Historic-Cultural Monument in 2003, recognizing its connection to Hollywood's golden age.
