Mar Vista's decorative rooftop elements were nice additions. The last photo appears to include framework that might have supported the sign. But it could also have been part of a rooftop enclosure.
Maybe it's the color of the brickwork or its footprint, but for some hard-to-explain reason, the Mar Vista conjures thoughts of the Mary Andrews Clark Residence (Third Street and Loma) and the possibilities . . . Probably a very unfair comparison, especially considering the Clark's landscaping and imaginative roofline - and without knowing anything about the MVista's construction budget.
