The Talmadge Apartments, located at 3278 Wilshire Blvd in Los Angeles, CA, is an elegant brick apartment tower with a rich history. Originally owned by silent film actress Norma Talmadge and her husband, Hollywood producer Joseph Schenk, the building opened in 1924 and quickly became an upscale address attracting celebrities and dowagers who enjoyed attentive service.
Designed in the Renaissance Revival style by architects Curlett and Beelman, the Talmadge Apartments were built on the site of a Craftsman mansion designed by legendary Pasadena architects Charles and Henry Greene. The building's opening was celebrated with a summer garden party attended by socialites and business leaders, and it has remained a prominent landmark on Wilshire Boulevard ever since.
