The apartments Sven posted look like a very stylized and fanciful interpretation of Tudor Style within the Storybook Style. Other examples of buildings that fit into the Storybook Style can be seen in the Continental Village section (Selma side) of the Crossroads Of The World shopping center in Hollywood, CA, and of course one of my personal favorites... The Administrative Office of the Willat Studios, pictured here circa 1920... The structure was later moved from Culver City to 516 N. Walden Drive in Beverly Hills, CA. Re-purposed as a private residence it soon became commonly referred to as the "Witch's House" for obvious reasons. None of which is Tiki, but those steep high peaked roof lines sure do have possibilities. Bear
