Yes! We Have No Bananas...

...goes the popular song from July 1923.

Sorry folks, I know many of you have been checking in & stopping by to find out if we have any available units, but for July, we have no apartments coming available. Please keep checking in. Your day may come.

Pictured, is the Gaylord prior to opening April 9, 1924. Out front you can see the crates filled with top of the line furnishings for the apartments and the "Own Your Own Apartment" signage, as the Gaylord was one of L.A.'s first co-ops. You will also notice the rooftop neon is yet to be installed.
