Holmby Hall

Holmby Hall is an historic[1] landmark[2] building in Westwood Village, Los Angeles, California.

Built in 1929, Holmby Hall is a streetscape of six Spanish Colonial Revival[3] storefronts and features a prominent white clock tower, capped by a green pinnacle.

The building was designed by noted architects Gordon Kaufmann, John and Donald Parkinson.

[4] While the overall architectural style of the building is usually described as Spanish Colonial Revival the corner clock tower has been interpreted as English-Norman style architecture[5] or as a "Gothically capped Classical clock tower".

The building was located adjacent to the University of California Los Angeles and Holmby Hall's history is tied in with that of UCLA, as the building was used as the first dormitory for female students of that famous university.
