At the turn of the century, Adams-Normandie was one of Los Angeles' most prestigious communities mostly comprised of stately Arts and Crafts style homes. As such, The Addison residence is a rare and shining display of the foresight and craftsmanship that went into the development of the area.

Once owned by notable resident Anita Addison who was an Oscar-nominated Director, and one of the first African-American-Female executives at a major television network.

Interior
