Barry Building
The Barry Building is a commercial mid-twentieth century modern building located at 11973 San Vicente Boulevard in the heart of the Brentwood neighborhood of Los Angeles, California. It was designed by architect Milton Caughey (1911-1958) and completed in 1951. In 2007, the building was listed as a Los Angeles Historic-Cultural Monument,〔〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://cityclerk.lacity.org/lacityclerkconnect/index.cfm?fa=ccfi.viewrecord&cfnumber=07-2309 )〕 making it one of the few mid-century modern commercial buildings to gain such status.〔http://www.downsizegreenhollowsquare.org/GreenHollowSquareFEIR-CHCLetter.pdf〕 The building's best-known feature is an unusual open courtyard which once housed Dutton's bookstore. The building may soon be demolished as a part of the proposed Green Hollow Square development.
==History==
The Barry Building was commissioned by its owner David Barry and completed in 1951 as postwar development was beginning to redefine Brentwood's San Vicente Boulevard's commercial corridor. The architect Milton Caughey graduated from the Yale School of Architecture in 1938 and moved to Los Angeles where, after serving in the navy, he joined architect Gordon Kaufmann. Caughey later opened his own practice designing private residences as well as institutions and school buildings. Caughey was the winner of four Merit Awards by the Southern California Chapter of the American Institute of Architects.
The building's most famous tenant was the Dutton's Bookstore where for more than two decades authors such as Kurt Vonnegut and Isabel Allende held readings and signings. In 2006, ownership of the building turned over to investor Charlie Munger, Vice-Chairman of Berkshire Hathaway Corporation, the diversified investment corporation chaired by Warren Buffett.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://people.forbes.com/profile/charles-t-munger/11324 )〕
