![]() Brentwood is a special place, a small community of 35,000 nestled between the world famous beaches of Santa Monica and the palm laden streets of Beverly Hills. Hundreds of devoted residents have volunteered time and energy to the BHA during our 70 year history to make sure Brentwood stays special. As we exit a uniquely difficult year, we look to the challenges ahead with determination and understanding of our place and responsibility in ensuring Brentwood receives the city support and protections we deserve. Thank you to all our members who have given time, thought and support to our endeavors. You are vital to our existence and our existence is vital to our community. We wish you peace, love, health and happiness this new year and hope like the game of blackjack, '21 beats '20 every time!
Sincerely, Kathleen Flanagan President
click any photo below to enlarge Looks a little different these days, but the Chevron station at Barrington and Sunset has been a staple of our community since before it was much of a community.
The residence built for rubber heir Joseph Oliver Stokes was quite a spread back in 1921, and still stands today at 12935 San Vicente Blvd.
Singer songwriter Ricky Nelson did not foresee trouble at his (Madison Square) Garden Party and was all smiles back in 1963 when he married Kristen Harmon at St Martin of Tours on Sunset and Saltair.
Brentwood School had a little more horsepower back in 1932 when it was a military academy at the same spot along "Beverly Boulevard," the former name of what is now Sunset.
The Brentwood Homeowners Association needed to appease a few residents in the mid-50s who were upset about the disruption from necessary improvements on San Vicente in front of the Brentwood Public School.
With all the ordering in you've done this year, don't you wish just a little you could order from THIS menu, circa 1968, from what is now the Luxe Hotel on Sunset and Church? You may not remember legendary actor Tyrone Power, but his home still stands directly behind Brentwood Lower School at 139 N Saltair!
