Thanks, GaylordWilshire.
In your Yucca-Vine Tower picture we can also see Alto Nido Apartments (white, on far left, behind Yucca-Vine Tower, on Ivar Ave/up in the hill) that was William Holden character's home in "Sunset Boulevard."
http://www.altonidoapts.com/ The building had plenty of other famous residents too, not only old time filmstars, but also more recent ones.
I knew this already in early 90's, and being already fascinated by the neigborhood, I even inquired availabe apartments in there. There was plenty, they were affordable, but I found a nicer 1930's place on Argyle (without known-history) and decided not to sign any emotion -based rental agreements.
Just couple of houses down/south of Alto Nido, but just out of frame, is Nathaneal West's home, where he supposedly wrote "The Day Of Locust." The tudor -style apartment bldg. was still there just couple of years ago. The condition looked good.
Also, if I remember right, The Fontenoy was Ronald Reagan's very first Hollywood home in 1930's. Feel free to correct me if wrong.
edit: I don't have my original source at hand right now to verify West's home, but it should be this one

Probably better not call it tudor style after all. Let's call it Hollywood's idea of Europe.
