The Ravenswood is a historic apartment building in Art Deco style at 570 North Rossmore Avenue in the Hancock Park neighborhood of Los Angeles, California.

[2] Mae West lived in the penthouse from its 1930 opening until her 1980 death.

[3][4][5] West, who invested in property throughout the Los Angeles area, saved the building's owners from bankruptcy which changed their initial intention of barring her then-boyfriend, African-American boxer William "Gorilla" Jones, from entering the premises.

[6] James Timony, West's long time manager, close friend, and one-time boyfriend (pre-1930s), lived in the building until his death in 1954.

[7] Other residents have included Anna Faris, Clark Gable and Ava Gardner, at different times.
