The Kelton Apartments is a historic 4-unit 2-story multi-family building located at 644-648 Kelton Avenue, in the Westwood neighborhood of Los Angeles, California.
The building is a part of a collection of homes designed by Los Angeles based modernist architect, Richard Neutra, and built in North West Westwood Village, including the Strathmore Apartments, Elkay Apartments, and Landfair Apartments.[1]
The building was built in 1941 in the international style for Neutra's in-laws after they moved out of the nearby Strathmore Apartments. It is next door to the Elkay Apartments, which Neutra designed in 1948.[2] The building is noted to be an indicator of Neutra's shifting post-war style towards a more "relaxed and lyrical" design.[3] The building was featured on the cover of L'Architecture d'aujourd'hui in 1946.
On June 21, 1988, the City of Los Angeles designated the building as a Los Angeles Historic-Cultural Monument.[4] The complex was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2020.
