Mid-Century marvelous at the Brody House The Brody House in Holmby Hills, designed by the architect A. Quincy Jones with interiors by designer William Haines, is the site of the LA Conservancy fall benefit. The event will take place on Sat., Oct. 19. Completed in 1951 and spanning more than 11,000 square feet, the Brody House is an early example of Midcentury Modernism. The home recently underwent a major restoration and still features many of Haines’ original
furnishings. Much of Jones’ work from the 1960s is seen in the design of buildings for university campuses and office buildings, but he first gained recognition for his residential work in the postwar era when the need for housing was acute. Born in Kansas City, Missouri in 1913, Jones was a professor of architecture at the University of Southern California from 1951-67 and also served as the dean of the University’s School of Archi-
tecture. While in private practice in Los Angeles from 1937, his houses set standards of excellence that affected all house design of the postwar period, especially the tract house. Jones designed affordable houses all over Southern California with more than 5,000 built projects to his name, including single-family dwellings, corporate campuses, libraries, churches and schools. For more information visit laconservancy.org/benefit.

By Judy Smith Long-time resident, Eddy S. Feldman lived to age 93, and among his contributions was a book titled “The Art of Street Lighting in Los Angeles.” It was written in 1972 and published by Dawson’s Book Shop. Only 87 pages, it is now a collector’s item. He was inspired to chronicle the history of street lighting in Los Angeles when he became a member of the board of Municipal Art Commissioners. This Board approved the design of lamps and lampposts. As a member of the Board since 1961, Eddy helped vote on the design of the streetlights. These were submitted by the Board of Public Works (BPW) through its Bureau of Street Lighting. The BPW had “charge, superintendence and control” of the lighting of all

required by law. They had to be attached to the fronts of buildings. That same year a contract for lighting the streets by gas was granted. By 1882, when street lighting by electricity was authorized in this city of 12,000 residents, there were 136 gas lamps to guide people through the darkness. By 1971, however, there were 161,700 electric lighting units to match a population that had grown to almost three million. Feldman’s interest in photography and streetlights resulted in the recording of the lights, many of which later were destroyed. Mayor Sam Yorty approved the first showing of Eddy’s photographs of light standards at Los Angeles City Hall. Later, the photographs were exhibited at the Pasadena Art Museum [now the Norton Simon Museum] as part of California Design XI, 1971. As a result, the lamp standards have been recognized as an art form. The styles and types of streetlights seen around Los Angeles reflect the city’s history, architecture and dedication to historic preservation. For much of this, we can thank Eddy Feldman for capturing in writing and through his photographs one fascinating aspect of Los Angeles’ heritage.
