In 1947 Gregory Ain designed the 10 unit Avenel Housing Association Project for a group of motion picture cartoonists and their families in Los Angeles’ Silver Lake Area.

Access to each unit is on the side elevation. The property was listed at the local level of significance in the area of architecture as a good representative example of Gregory Ain’s multiple family housing in Los Angeles.
