Additional Information: This
property was recently added to the City's list of cultural and
historic monuments. It is one of a string of 1929-1930 examples
of the early Janss-conceived plan for Westwood Hills. Its
architect, Allen G. Siple, went on to design the Beverly Hills
Police Buildings, the Webb School Buildings, Mandeville House and
The Grove, a cluster of courtyard dwellings, designated an
historic landmark in 1987. The garden has plants that are from
Allen Siple's own garden. The Kelton property embodies the
California Mediterranean-style of architecture with garden
entries, a campanile and original California tiles. Historic
monument status confers some financial benefits, including
property tax adjustments and tax credits. A link to the Los
Angeles Conservancy booklet describing these benefits is
available below.
