Sunday Brunch November 19, 2017 / Susannah Breslin "The former Idle Hour Café on Vineland in North Hollywood is the only barrel-shaped building left in the city (according to Nichols's application [link goes to a pdf], there used to be barrels on San Fernando Road, Beverly Boulevard, and Huntington Drive, among others). The redwood barrel with its stucco wings was commissioned in 1941 by Universal Studios film tech Michael D. Connolly (the Daily News says he was a former hobo, which gives the barrel extra meaning) and built by Silver Lake engineer George F. Fordyk." @idlehour #northhollywood #programmaticbuilding #noho Idle Hour. North Hollywood. Sunday brunch.
