19 - Winn Apartments

417 Ocean Front Walk

The Winn Apartments, built in 1921, is a four-story, 32-unit apartment building with a partial basement and partial roof deck. The Italianate architectural style building was originally constructed for J.R. and Lulu A. Winn as an apartment house offering short- and long-term stays. It is currently in use as a hotel known as Venice Suites.

The Winn Apartments is associated with early 20th century leisure tourism in Venice. In this case, it is a rare example of a 1920s apartment house in Venice. Again, as with The Potter, the Winn Apartments is not only one of Venice’s oldest remaining apartment houses, but it is one of the few buildings in Venice left from that period.

The Winn Apartments became Los Angeles Historic-Cultural Monument #1170 on 11/27/2018.
