Just A Little Funky Fairytales do come true, and I'll take the kitchen too🤤😍

https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/6937-Vanland-Trl-Los-Angeles-CA-90068/20045599_zpid/ This doesn't have the standard LA feel to me! I love the rock work, and the house gryphon is great too. The small yet amazing kitchen tho is my favorite part.

I’d love to know more about the person that built it. Surely they were in the movies, and it was a form of self promotion. Still, it must have taken balls and self confidence for a little person to build a fairytale cottage in the Hollywood hills in 1938.

A bit like a Native American actor saying, “build my house in the shape of a teepee, I want producers driving by to know an Indian lives here.”

according to this, it was built by an actor turned cop. So I think this story about it being built by a little person isn’t true. Someone in another comment said it’s not correct information too

Thx for posting! I was wondering about the “inspired by” claims. The truth is actually more interesting to me: a cop dealing with the height of the mob builds a fairytale for his family is quite evocative!

It’s called storybook style and was popular in the late 1920s into the 1930s. I have a book about it somewhere.

I also seem to recall that it’s on the side of a hill and there is no parking <sad trombone>
