Hidden Hideout

Villa Primavera (1923), 1300-08 North Harper Avenue

This Spanish style courtyard apartment building was built and designed by Arthur and Nina Zwebell. It is considered their first architectural and aesthetic triumph. The courtyard features a stone fountain, large outdoor fireplace and dense landscaping. Personalities who resided in the building include Katherine Hepburn and James Dean. It was also used as a location in the film In a Lonely Place (1950, directed by Nicolas Ray and starring Humphrey Bogart). It's mostly hidden from the street.

If you use any of these photos for commercial purposes I assume you'll discuss that with me.

These were shot with a Nikon D70 - using lens (1) AF-S Nikkor 18-70 mm 1:35-4.5G ED, or (2) AF Nikkor 70-300mm telephoto, or after 5 June 2006, (3) AF-S DX Zoom-Nikkor, 55-200 mm f/4-5.6G ED. They were modified for web posting using Adobe Photoshop 7.0

The original large-format raw files are available upon request.
