Description: I hand-painted this impressionistic 8x10 watercolor painting of the storied Chateau Marmont on 9/14/24. IT IS NOT A PRINT! The original painting is on Canson watercolor paper art board. The board is flat and sturdy with mounted acid-free, archival paper. The Chateau Marmont on Sunset Blvd opened on February 1, 1929. Initially, it was built as an apartment building inspired by European chateaux, in particular Chateau d' Amboise in the Loire Valley. The L-shaped building is topped with a turret and a steep slate roof. When it opened, furnished apartments from one to six rooms were available to rent. However, due to the Great Depression, the apartments were short-lived, and in a matter of two years, the apartment building was sold. The new owner turned it into a hotel; he took advantage of the onslaught of visitors flooding Los Angeles for the 1932 Summer Olympics. By 1937, Sunset Blvd was a hotspot. The Chateau's owner bought a plot of land east of the hotel with 2-story homes which he turned into bungalows. Down the road, in 1952, two additional bungalows were built. Through the decades, the hotel has been bought and sold many times and remains a celebrity hideout. Unframed: Green Frame in first photo NOT included.
