A. Quincy Jones House in Utopian L.A. Community Listed for $2.7 Million
A historic A. Quincy Jones-designed home, part of the postwar Mutual Housing Tract project in Los Angeles, is on the market for $2.7 million. Known as the Gelb House, this mid-century modern home is one of the few remaining from the original 160 homes designed by Jones and Whitney R. Smith. Built in 1950, the house features a redwood frame, a mix of plate glass, concrete block, and redwood paneling, and is situated on a 0.32-acre lot. The property, which has been carefully renovated to maintain its original design, includes outdoor spaces with towering eucalyptus trees. The Crestwood Hills community, where the house is located, was initially developed as a cooperative living community by a group of artists in the 1940s.
