The Los Angeles Bureau of Power and Light (see next entry) built this complex of five duplexes around the corner from its Boulder City offices. Arranged in a U-shaped plan opening toward the street, the one-story buildings have brick walls rising from a concrete foundation. Though simple, the duplexes have well-designed features, including full-length front porches supported by pairs of square posts, bay windows on stone foundations, and pairs of porthole windows.
