Historic A. Quincy Jones House in Los Angeles Listed for $2.7 Million
A historic A. Quincy Jones-designed house, known as the Gelb House, has been listed for sale at $2.7 million in Los Angeles. Built in 1950 as part of the Mutual Housing Tract project, the house is one of the few remaining examples of mid-century modern architecture in the Crestwood Hills area. Originally constructed for Morris and Lydia Gelb, the home remained in their family until 2010 when it was purchased by architect Bruce Norelius and his partner Landis Green. The pair renovated the house in 2014, preserving its original design while updating its systems. The three-bedroom home features a mix of plate glass, concrete block, and redwood paneling, and is situated on a 0.32-acre lot with mature eucalyptus trees.
