Mocine Duplex, Farrell & Simpson, Architects 1951

Mocine Duplex, Farrell & Simpson, Architects 1951, a photo by Michael Locke on Flickr.

I was delighted to "discover" the Mocine Duplex today, while taking photos for my upcoming book on the history of Silver Lake. Located within a stone's throw of the Neutra Colony, I thought at first it might actually be the work of Richard Neutra himself. With a little bit of research I was able to find out that the duplex was designed by a pair of architects with the appellation Farrell and Simpson; the team apparently worked in Richard Neutra's office in Silver Lake for a time.

Located at 2345 Cove Avenue in the Silver Lake neighborhood of Los Angeles.
