Susana Machado Bernard House and Barn
Susana Machado Bernard House and Barn, Art Nouveau residence in Pico-Union district, Los Angeles, United States.
The 10,000-square-foot mansion at 845 S. Lake Street features thirty-five rooms, vaulted ceilings, curved walls, and Gothic Revival elements.
John Parkinson, who later designed Los Angeles City Hall and Union Station, created this residential masterwork in 1901 for Susana Machado Bernard.
The mansion belonged to Susana Machado, daughter of Rancho La Ballona owner Augustin Machado, who married Swiss-French businessman Jean Bernard.
The Center for Human Rights and Constitutional Law operates the building as Casa Libre shelter, providing housing and support for immigrant youth.
The property maintains its original carriage house and barn, reflecting its status as a working estate during the early twentieth century.
