Everything You Need to Know About Dingbats, the Retro Home Style That’s All Over LA

Simple clapboard Colonial homes reign supreme in New England, while pueblo-style dwellings with stucco walls and terracotta flourishes represent the Southwest. But on the West Coast, where mid-century design and beachy flair unite, you’ll likely see a lot of boxy structures plopped on top of a few parking spots.“What are those?” you might ask yourself as you inch through bumper-to-bumper traffic along the 405.

Dingbat Apartment Los Angeles

"The dingbat Apartment typifies Los Angeles building architecture at its worst,". These simple, two story boxy apartment buildings called “Dingbats” flooded the development era of the 1950s and 60s, many replacing original craftsman bungalows and single family Victorian styled homes of West L.A., turning much of West L.A. into a Dingbat apartment city. They offered inexpensive rents and a source of income. This Apartment on Armacost avenue in West Los Angeles was built in 1961.
