The Elkay Apartments is an historic five-unit two-story[2] multi-family building located at 638-642 Kelton Avenue, in the Westwood neighborhood of Los Angeles, California. Designed in 1948 in the international or modernistic style of architecture by noted Los Angeles architect Richard Neutra, it was completed in 1948 for noted violist Louis Kievman. The name Elkay is derived from his initials. The building is owned today by his daughter Karen Bruderlin[3][4][5] It is next door to the Kelton Apartments designed by Neutra in 1941 for himself. Despite objections from the owners of the Elkay Apartments,[6] on June 21, 1988, the City of Los Angeles designated the building a Los Angeles Historic-Cultural Monument.[1][7]
