Regarding The Trianon. The 6-story, 26-unit French Chateau-style Trianon Apartments building in the Los Feliz neighborhood of Los Angeles is one of the most impressive designs of the legendary apartment house designer Leland A. Bryant. Construction was commissioned in 1928 by Mary Pickford and Douglas Fairbanks who also lived in the luxury 2-story Penthouse until their divorce in the 1930s. Bryant designed the six-story apartment building (and neon roof sign) with a round conical-roofed tower, a steep, hipped slate roof, and dormers with narrow windows. The elegant architecture and luxurious amenities have made it a desirable home for notable residents including actors Charlie Chaplin and Billy Zane, director Charles O’Malley, and singer Belinda Carlisle. It has also been used in numerous films and television shows. It was designated a Los Angeles Historic-Cultural Monument in 1995.
