The Skinner House; William Kesling, Architect
This Silverlake-district example of the Streamline Moderne style may actually be the architect's most accomplished. Highly decorative built-ins, extensive casement windows and multiple balconies expand and highlight the scale of the public spaces. A curved magnesite stairway with chrome rail ascends to the upper level with two bedrooms, a luxurious master bath and a later den with fireplace opening to an entertaining patio with fountain.
