El Pueblo Ribera
From Wikipedia the free encyclopedia
El Pueblo Ribera Court is a complex of 12 duplexes at 230–248 Gravilla Street and 230–309 Playa del Sur in La Jolla, a community in San Diego, California. It was designed in 1923 by the Austrian-American Rudolf Schindler. Schindler's most famous works are in and around Los Angeles; El Pueblo Ribera is his only work in San Diego.[1]
History
[edit]The complex was built in Modern architectural style.[2] Each unit originally consisted of a bedroom on the ground level, and a sleeping porch on the upper level. Each unit enjoys a view of La Jolla's Windansea Beach.
The San Diego Historical Society declared the complex a historic district in 1977 (historic site #117).
