The Town House is a large former hotel property built in 1929 on Wilshire Boulevard, adjacent to Lafayette Park in the Westlake district of Los Angeles, California.

[3] The building was converted to operate exclusively as a hotel in 1937, featuring one of the most glamorous bars in the city, the Zebra Room, with interiors by noted designer Wayne McAllister.

[8] He enlisted the Santa Monica-based firm of Killefer Flammang Architects (KFA), noted for their renovations of historic buildings,[9] to convert the 255-room hotel into 142 units of low-income housing, under a 55-year covenant.

[8] In 2017,[10] the north half of the massive 1.8 acre property,[11] containing the long-abandoned tennis courts and the hotel parking lot, was redeveloped by Century West Partners with the construction of a new 398-unit apartment complex, Next on Sixth, also designed by KFA.

Other registered historic sites within one block of the Town House include the Bryson Apartment Hotel, Bullocks Wilshire, the Felipe de Neve branch of the Los Angeles Public Library system, and the Granada Shoppes and Studios.

The construction of The Town House, a 13-story hotel tower accompanied by a two-story annex and both south and north garages, started in July 1928 and reached completion in 1929.

The Town House complex is sited at the corner of Wilshire Boulevard and Commonwealth Avenue, about four miles west of downtown Los Angeles.

[5] In 1929, The Town House was set in the upscale Lafayette Park neighborhood, surrounded by elegant Beaux-Arts apartment buildings and high-end residences.

Wilshire Boulevard, next to the Town House, stood as Southern California's most esteemed commercial avenue, featuring upscale retail stores and low-rise office buildings, many of which were designed in the elegant Period Revival style.
