Mid-Century Modernism in Silver Lake

September 26, 2024 – Sarah Bowman

Take an informative tour around Silver Lake, get to know the mid-century modern architects who established themselves in Los Angeles, and then relax with a meal (and shopping) in nearby neighborhoods.

“Our tour was run by Laura Massino Smith, an architectural historian who visits this neighborhood almost daily because her Silver Lake tour is extremely popular, especially for folks visiting LA. Laura’s presentation is well-honed and informative, and her familiarity with the area is an asset because when you’re gawking at someone’s home and the owner comes out to get the mail, it could potentially be an awkward moment. When this happened to us, the owner gave Laura a friendly wave, and seemed to appreciate our interest.”
