We've recently seen Country Club Manor and Chateau Elysee (page 591) but a search didn't turn up La Fontaine, on Crescent Heights at Fountain, another grande dame, so here it is, helping us "march backwards into the future" by living in a fantasy past.
Designed and built in 1930 of rose-colored brick by the prolific Leland Bryant, (based on one he'd seen in his European travels) who did the Afton Arms, The Trianon and the Sunset Tower Hotel among others. Signature expansive, gracious apartments with many built-ins, dressing rooms, etc plus huge individual storage rooms in the basement. And I do like a house or building up on a plinth (in this case thanks to the semi-underground parking):

Is that pea gravel?:
An ultra-modern, south-facing 3,000 sq ft owner's unit/penthouse was built out the back in the 60s:
