Horatio West Court Apartments in Santa Monica by Irving Gill (1919). Why Gill isn't a more established part of the narrative of Modernism is a mystery to me.

This took me years to write.
'It felt less like a book club, and more like a get-together for people who thought lockdown was brilliant.' @timabrahams spent three years searching for the perfect book club, only to find that no two readers are ever on the same page. https://t.co/nsYZDz8LhV
