The Barn / A. Quincy Jones

There is a New England style barn on Santa Monica Blvd in Los Angeles. It was originally designed in 1950 as a photographer’s studio. 

In 1965, A.Quincy Jones (seen here) purchased the building and remodeled it after his home burned down. He referred to it as “the Barn.” It was his home and workplace until his death in 1979. His wife Elaine continued to live in there until 2009.

Here was in the scene in 2002, with some David Cressey/Rober Martin planters for Architectural Pottery. The pots went up for auction at LAMA in 2010, after Elaine moved out of the house.

This Eames Hang-it-all , a gift from Ray, from the Barn was also part of the same LAMA sale.

In 2009 the Barn was purchased by the Annenberg Foundation, so it's in good hands.
