The Strathmore Apartments, is an historic 8-unit multi-family complex located at 11005-11013 1/2 Strathmore Drive in the Westwood neighborhood of Los Angeles, California. It was designed in 1937 in the international or modernistic style of architecture by noted Los Angeles architect Richard Neutra, who originally planned it as 4 units, but bought the lot next door and added four more units there for himself. ^[3] On April 8, 1988, the City of Los Angeles designated the complex a Los Angeles Historic-Cultural Monument.^{[1] [4] [5] [6][7]}

In 2008 the 4 units, originally owned by Richard Neutra and sold by his son Dion Neutra around 1999, were converted to condominium ownership.^{[8] [9] [10] [11] [12] [13]}
