2 CHC HCM 2249 North Benedict Canyon Drive Page 2 of 3 SUMMARY The Cytron House is a Mid-Century Modern single-family residence with an attached carport located at 2249 Benedict Canyon Drive, between Yoakum Drive and Portola Drive in the Beverly Crest neighborhood of Los Angeles. Constructed in 1961, the subject property was designed by internationallyrecognized master architect Richard Neutra for Leo and Matilda Cytron. The east-facing one-story, post-and-beam residence has an s-shaped plan and occupies the lower, flat portion of a large sloping site. The structure is clad in stucco and has a flat roof with rolled composition asphalt. The primary elevation is characterized by a wooden footbridge spanning a creek that leads to the front door, overhanging eaves, and steel fixed single-lite windows. The entire rear, western-facing elevation is a window wall of single-lite fixed windows and metal sliding doors that look out onto a modest concrete patio and garden. On the southern-facing elevation, there are both fixed and louvered clerestory windows. Interior features include built-in wooden cabinets, built-in furniture, a gas fireplace, a skylight, cork flooring, and exposed roof beams and a tongue-and-groove wood ceiling that continue to the outside. Richard Joseph Neutra ( ) is considered one of Modernism's most important architects. Neutra was born in Vienna, Austria on April 8, He studied under Adolf Loos at the Technical University of Vienna, was influenced by Otto Wagner, and worked for a time in Germany in the studio of Erich Mendelsohn. He moved to the United States by 1923 and worked briefly for Frank Lloyd Wright before accepting an invitation from his close friend and university companion Rudolf Schindler to work and live communally in Schindler's Kings Road House in West Hollywood. In California, he became celebrated for rigorously geometric but airy structures that symbolized a West Coast variation on the Mid-Century Modern residence. In the early 1930s, Neutra's Los Angeles practice trained several young architects who went on to independent success, including Gregory Ain, Harwell Hamilton Harris, and Raphael Soriano. He was famous for the attention he gave to defining the real needs of his clients, regardless of the size of the project, in contrast to other architects eager to impose their artistic vision on a client. His domestic architecture was a blend of art, landscape and practical comfort. Neutra died in Wuppertal, Germany, on April 16, Other works by Neutra include the Jardinette Apartments (1929, HCM #390), Sten/Frenke-Gould Residence (1934, HCM #647), Kun Residence (1936, HCM #1006), Landfair Apartments (1937, HCM #320), Kelton Apartments (1941, HCM #365), and the Maxwell House (1941, HCM #808). Based on permit records, the property appears to have experienced only minor, maintenance-related alterations. CRITERIA The criterion is the Cultural Heritage Ordinance which defines a historical or cultural monument as any site (including significant trees or other plant life located thereon) building or structure of particular historic or cultural significance to the City of Los Angeles, such as historic structures or sites in which the broad cultural, economic, or social history of the nation, State or community is reflected or exemplified, or which are identified with historic personages or with important events in the main currents of national, State or local history or which embody the distinguishing characteristics of an architectural type specimen, inherently valuable for a study of a period style or method of construction, or a notable work of a master builder, designer or architect whose individual genius influenced his age.

11 Section 7: WRITTEN STATEMENTS (A) MONUMENT DESCRIPTION (character-defining features: historic, cultural and architectural significance) The CYTRON HOUSE is an excellent example of a Mid-Century Modernist building, designed, built, and finished in 1961 by internationally recognized master architect Richard J. Neutra. It is a simple one-story, two-bedroom, two-bathroom house on the flat area of a hillside lot at 2249 Benedict Canyon Drive in Los Angeles, California (with a Beverly Hills adjacent zip code of 90210). It was built for Matilda (Tillie) and Leo P. Cytron to live in following their retirement from having been the owners (since 1922) of Cytronʼs Shoe Store, one of the first businesses in Los Angeles, on Manchester and Vermont. They bought the Benedict Canyon lot (next to a lot my parents had). My mother Shirley Cytron, wanted Neutra to be her own architect, but with a divorce coming and lack of funds, my parents had to sell their lot and Shirley suggest that her own mother contact Neutra, which she did. As was Neutraʼs style, he interviewed his clients, getting them to tell him what they had in mind. If he liked them, and if he saw a landscape in which he could integrate a design using their desires, he took on the assignment. (See attached letters.) Thomas S. Hines in his book Richard Neutra and the Search for Modern Architecture explained that Neutra was especially concerned that good design be available to people of modest means and that even his most expensive architecture be translatable into less cost forms. (p. 6, Univ. of Calif. Press 1982). As a result, he built for my grandparents a small, comfortable, and elegant house. I also know that my grandmother (although happily married for more than fifty years) was very much attracted to Mr. Neutraʼs good looks; and that cannot be underplayed as to why she wanted him to be the architect. (Parenthetically, Tillie and Neutraʼs wife, Dione, kept in touch when the Neutras were traveling and often wrote to each other even years after the house was built. See attached 1967 letter from Dione, Richardʼs wife. She even inquired about me, the granddaughter.) Approaching the house, you drive along well-traveled Benedict Canyon Drive up from the Beverly Hills Hotel on Sunset. You have to pay attention as you go around the curves; but on your left about 7 minutes in, you will see a huge moon rock as my grandmother used to call it, in the front of the lot. Then you can park either in the carport or in the houseʼs visitorsʼ parking area. You will notice right away typical Neutra house characteristics - the clean lines, the open spaces, and the landscape. In the front, is a foot-bridge crossing over a creek and a huge sycamore tree and other foliage. It is from here that you can walk on flat stones to the entrance. The door leads you through a lovely wood-paneled divider where there is a coathanging area and a closet just as you enter. From here, you canʼt help but see out to the back of the house through the floor-to-ceiling expansive windows and glass sliding doors. So, too, the flat roof, exposed inside beams which continue to the outside, and 8

12 overhanging eaves are immediately evident. This is where you first are able to get a free-flowing feeling of being inside and outside at the same time. In his book The Neutras Then and Later, Neutraʼs son Dion, (also an architect and his fatherʼs partner, who worked on this commission as well), explained the use of maximum glass this way:...so as to expand the ʻindoor/outdoorʼ sensation and free movement of the eyes. It was Neutraʼs way of allowing Tillie and Leo to live in this rustic-feeling house and experience nature from every vantage point from inside looking out to the front or to the rear patio, garden, fish pond, grass, fruit trees, bouganvilla and beyond to the ivycovered hillside. (See attached photos.) The layout of this small (19,480.7 sq. ft.) one-story, flat-roofed stucco house on a concrete foundation is in three sections (as can be seen in the attached drawing). At one end, on the south side, are the master bedroom, the two bathrooms, a hallway, and the second bedroom (that Tillie used as her art studio). The master bathroom has a bathtub, a separate shower, and a private toilet room. The other is a three-quarter bathroom (no bathtub). The second bedroom has a separate side door with glass, allowing views out to the side. The other windows in this room looks out to the trees, plants, and hedges. Even though on a busy street, because the front of the house is nicely set back from the road with a lot of foliage, it has a private feel; and because the back of the house is surrounded with greenery, it also feels secluded (even from the two houses on either side). As architect Ray Kappe said (in his audio interview for the Los Angeles Central Libraryʼs 2009 exhibit, Richard Neutra, Architect: Sketches and Drawings), Neutra extended space, that he moved the interior space outward and that really influenced the life of people in a very strong way. This is definitely true for the CYTRON HOUSE. Looking outside through these windows, seeing the deer and birds, was like being in a hunterʼs blind, and it never ceased to please the Cytrons. Tillie even made friends with the raccoons that used to come down the hill and into the yard in the evenings, expecting a bowl of water and a bag of stale bread for their familyʼs dinner. The central area of the house consists of a living room and dining room combination with a prominent gas fireplace on one wall next to built-in wooden cabinets that easily open with a finger-push. There are also built-in book shelves above the signature Neutra built-in brown leather couch. There are both flood and track lighting, eliminating the need for standing lamps. It is an open floor plan wherein the dining room is at the other side of this central area with more wooden cabinets that divide the eating area and the kitchen. These same cabinets serve as cupboards on the kitchen side with glass-looking plastic sliding doors. (See attached photos). The kitchen itself is at right angles to the central area, is not big but well-designed with counter space, ovens, refrigerator, double sink and cabinets above. Thereʼs a special storage pantry which lights up when the doors are opened. This is a house, made for Los Angeles climate, a place with sun and light all year. There is also a skylight in the kitchen bringing in the sunshine. Neutra designed high, uncovered windows in the bathrooms also to let sunlight in (perhaps even pre-dating todayʼs energy-saving ideas). 9

13 Tied to the early 60ʼs, there is an interesting addition that was put in when the house was built - a Nutone Food Center (a built-in electric element enabling a blender to be screwed in and used right on the counter top). The laundry room with a washer, dryer and sink is in the room next to the kitchen, with a convenient set of sliding-door cupboards between the two. The Cytrons loved their house. The wood and beautiful veneer used for the minimal but adequate built-in cabinetry and closets in the kitchen, dining area, living room, hall, and particularly the big bedroom, each adding to the warmth and coziness of the place. In the master bedroom are a wall of wooden shelves, a mirror over the built-in wooden dressing table and drawers. Surrounding the bed is also a built-in wooden bed frame and drawers. (See attached photos.) On the floors, Neutra used brown cork so there is the look of earth beneath your feet. He did not build the house as a storage place for clutter. Neutra used reductive forms, and we can see that Louis Sullivanʼs adage Form follows function was always the guiding principle. For example, instead of a closed garage with space for stuff, he designed an attached carport on the north side of the house for easy back door entry through the kitchen or into the laundry room, keeping the overall look open and airy. It was made quite clear to me after seeing Arkansas Educational Television Networkʼs 2012 Clean Lines Open Spaces A View of Mid-Century Modern Architecture that The CYTRON HOUSE is a Southern California residence exemplifying all of the qualities that the Case Study House Program of the 40s was to provide an affordable, easilymaintained house for people conceived in the spirit of our times and [be] made with the techniques and materials best suited to the expression of manʼs life in the modern world. Neutra was able to do this having gotten to know Tillie and Leo and having his associates work closely with them on their desires so as to keep the design fine, the cost of construction and materials within their budget, and the result, an aesthetically beautiful place to live. My grandparentsʼ house served as a place for year-round family gatherings such as Passovers, Thanksgivings, and weddings. Their two daughters, Shirley and Lenora, their children and spouses, grandchildren, and great grandchildren made this house a real family home for get-togethers. My mother, Shirley Cytron, got married (to actor Henry Corden) in the picturesque garden in 1970 and I too had a memorable wedding there (to Frank Gati) on Labor Day weekend in OWNER HISTORY Leo died in l969 and Tillie in Since then, the house has been in the Matilda Cytron Trust and rented out by the family to loving renters. Daniel Cytron, their grandson (my brother), was at the time of the construction of the house, considering a career in architecture and went to work with the draftsmen at the Neutra Practice in Silver Lake. He learned a lot but ultimately decided to pursue a life of fine art. His association with the house has been long-term, and he oversees all maintenance and repairs. 10

14 ALTERATIONS Such items as the Masonite on the outside of the side (studio/bedroom) door deteriorated over time because of the sun and weathering, so it was replaced with sturdier wood so as to last (this time). The termites have finally gotten the best of the crossover bridge, so we will be replacing it with look-alike wood but the same design. The sliding glass doors were both adjusted so they now work as they were designed to do. The cork on the floors can and does get chipped, so replacements have occasionally been put in. Electricians have had to be real professionals who know how to inquire as to the idiosyncrasies of the building before fixing individual problems. One tenant tried to use the fireplace for real, so the bricks have remnants of this woodburning. I am proud to say, that only small cosmetic changes have been done and that the integrity of the original building is at an exceptional level. It seems to have stood the test of time, making us want to have the CYTRON HOUSE, a real Neutra gem, noted as a Historic Place and Monument of Los Angeles. Julius Shulman, the famous architectural photographer was commissioned by the Neutra office to take pictures of the house. As explained by Andy Grundberg in the New York Times of July 17, 2009: Mr. Shulman almost always used black-and-white film, the better to reduce his subjects to their geometric essentials. But he was also able to make the hard glass and steel surfaces of postwar Modernist architecture appear comfortable and inviting. Iʼve included here, a few beautiful black-and-white photos he took of the CYTRON HOUSE, permissions given to me by Dion Neutra: 11

15 (B) CRITERIA - STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE (supporting documents follow) The criterion is the Cultural Heritage Ordinance which defines a historical or cultural monument as any site (including significant trees or other plant life located thereon) building or structure of particular historic or cultural significance to the City of Los Angeles are in this case, a historic building which embodies the distinguishing characteristics of an architectural type specimen, inherently valuable for a study of a period style or method of construction and a notable work of a master builder, designer or architect whose individual genius influenced his age. SIGNIFICANCE AS A HISTORIC RESOURCE (B)Is the site or structure an outstanding example of past architectural styles or craftsmanship? Yes. The Cytron House is a fine example of Mid-Century Modernism. (I)Was the site or structure created by a master architect, builder, or designer? Yes. Richard J. Neutra was the internationally known master designer and architect who built the Cytron House. 1.Did the architect, engineer, or owner have historical associations that either influenced architecture in the city or had a role in the development or history of Los Angeles? Yes. Richard J. Neutra did a number of beautiful and noteworthy projects in Los Angeles, many of which have been given historic recognition. 1.Has the building retained integrity? Does it still convey its historic significance through the retention of its original design and materials? Yes. Surprisingly, since the Cytron House was built in 1961, it has been maintained and lived in, always with love and attention, knowing that the integrity of its original look be kept as it was. Even when fixing things that break or are in need of replacement, the original design is always taken into account, and materials that will extend the life of the building have been used. 12

16 (C) SUMMARY The CYTRON HOUSE, built in 1961, is a one-story, flat-roof residential building, designed by internationally famous architect, Richard J. Neutra, that exhibits characterdefining features of the style known as Mid-Century Modernism. This small stucco and wood house is on a hillside lot off of Benedict Canyon Drive. It is built on a concrete slab in an s-shaped plan with open beams and overhanging eaves. It has two bedrooms and two baths on the south side of the lot; a central area consisting of a living room, fireplace, and dining room combined; floor-to-ceiling sliding glass doors with a view to the back patio, grassy garden, fruit trees, and ivy-covered hillside. A variety of other windows (fixed, louver, sliding, clarestory, skylight) are in each room to provide air, sunlight, or just views to the outside - an important characteristic of Neutraʼs expanded space. On the north side of the central area is the kitchen and laundry room with a back door leading out to the carport. There is a visitorsʼ parking area that is in front of the house, which is set back from the street. The entrance can be reached by passing over a footbridge and stone steps, shaded by a 250-year-old sycamore tree and a lot of managed foliage. There are built-in wood veneered cabinets, cupboards, book shelves, drawers, a dressing table, and sofa in the various rooms, hallway, and closets. The result was a moderately-priced residence, fit for the climate and the specific lot it was built on, designed to suit the needs of the owners by a famous architect with a known philosophy, resulting in an aesthetically beautiful house. Description/Nomination materials of the CYTRON HOUSE were written and assembled by Sally Cytron Gati, Tillie and Leo Cytronʼs granddaughter. 13
