Highland-Camrose Bungalow Village

The Highland-Camrose Bungalow Village is a residential cluster of Craftsman-style houses linked by stone walkways and retaining walls near the Hollywood Bowl. The complex sits on a hillside with both original structures and buildings adapted for office use.

The village was built between 1914 and 1924 by architects Taylor Brothers and Lee Campbell during Hollywood's period of rapid expansion. Seven of the original structures were later removed to create a public picnic area on the site.

The bungalows house offices for organizations linked to the Hollywood Bowl and Los Angeles Philharmonic, giving the place an artistic focus today. Walking through reveals how this cluster serves the region's music and performance community.

The hillside location means the grounds have limited public access since most buildings serve administrative functions today. The best views of the overall layout can be found from the public walkways and the picnic area.

This collection of Craftsman bungalows represents the only hillside cluster development of its type found in California. The mix of preserved homes and the public picnic area added later shows how such settlements have evolved to serve changing community needs.
