Fairy-tale homes of Los Angeles
Though many fine storybook-style structures, which include places that appear to be hobbit houses, witches' dens, fairy-tale castles and village courts, have been destroyed (just three are designated landmarks in Los Angeles), others still sprinkle the town.
This Culver City home, known among devotees as a hobbit house, with its mock thatched roof, heavy rolled eaves and half-timbering and leaded glass windows, is a classic example of storybook style, a whimsical type of architecture that emerged in Los Angeles with the burgeoning movie industry in the 1920s.

Great photos! This house is amazing! I love it's architecture! I recently heard that the Witch's House was renovated by his new owner, Michael Libow. He did a great thing saving that house from demolition.
