Leland A. Bryant

Bryant's Sunset Tower.

Leland A. Bryant (1890-1954) was an architect who primarily worked in the Los Angeles area.[1] Bryant had a short career as an architect that was ended by the Great Depression, but constructed many large Châteauesque apartment buildings, popular among many celebrities including Marilyn Monroe and John Wayne[2]

Born in Santa Cruz, Bryant received his architectural training from UC Berkeley. One of his earliest designs includes the Afton Arms Apartments in Hollywood, CA constructed in 1924. It is currently listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Other Bryant-design buildings include the Sunset Tower, Trianon Apartments, located in Thai Town, Voltaire Building, Fontenoy, Moderne Sun Towers and Romanesque Villa Apartments.[3][4]
