Trianon Apartments
The 6-story, 28-unit French Chateau-style Trianon Apartments building on the border of Hollywood and Los Feliz in Los Angeles is one of the most impressive designs of the legendary apartment house designer Leland A. Bryant. It was a project of the Chateau Holding Company operated by Ray and M.T. Leek and Nathan Goldberg. The elegant architecture and luxurious amenities have made it a desirable home for notable residents in film and music since it opened. The Trianon Apartments are also a popular filming location and have been featured in a number of films and television shows. It was designated a Los Angeles Historic-Cultural Monument in 1995.
Connections between the building and Mary Pickford and Douglas Fairbanks, promulgated on the internet, appear to be unfounded. One knowledgeable source suggested that Mary Pickford, a savvy businesswoman, may have been involved in the holding company, but there is no support for that notion either.
