Anderton Court Shops

I made my way to Rodeo Drive in Hollywood on the afternoon of Friday, January 5, 2024 to visit FLLW’s Anderton Court Shops.  FLLW designed the retail structure for Nina Anderton, a wealthy Bel Air philanthropist, who commissioned Wright to design a small complex of retail shops for a lot she owned in Beverly Hills.  The structure FLLW designed is not large, being only 50 feet wide and and 150 feet deep.  Originally it was to include four separate retail spaces and a top floor penthouse apartment for the property’s caretaker. But over time the shops were split up and there are now six smaller units, three on each side of the central walkway.  It appears that the building has been recently sold and each of the retail spaces have been cleaned out and signs removed.  It will be interesting to see what happens to this unique space.  Below is a gallery of photos I took that afternoon.
