Here is a little piece of history of the Dodge House a unique building that once existed, in West Hollywood, California. The Dodge House was a magnificent house that was built in the “Early Modern” style. This unique home was built in 1914 and designed by Irving Gill. The Dodge House was owned by Walter Luther Dodge, the maker of a patent medicine called “Tiz”, a treatment for tired tootsies. This amazing house had 16 rooms and incorporated many technological innovations. It was even featured in “House Beautiful.” Unfortunately, the Dodge House was demolished in 1970. All efforts to preserve this unique home failed. Today in its place apartments stand tall! This event sparked the formation of the preservation movement in Los Angeles.
