The Beck House, 1950, Thornton Abel, F. A. I. A: This Case Study Architect's early post & beam design gained National recognition as an Architectural Record Record House shortly after completion. Setback, and walled from Roscomare Road, the residence opens to a U shaped central court , and out to a wide lawn and garden. Behind the garden a trail leads up to a hidden studio/office retreat. All is near to nature. This is surprising given the close-in Lower Bel Air location, just a few minutes to U. C. L. A. and Westwood. Today, with the exception of some minor re-purposing of rooms, and garage, Abel's original winning open plan interior space is fully intact, inviting ideal indoor-outdoor California garden living. Sited on over 3/4 of an acre, the residence includes: 3 bedrooms, 3 baths, library/den, detached retreat with nearby privy, and a 2 car garage now used as an art studio.
