Streamline Moderne distilled Art Deco into sleek, machine- and ship-inspired forms emphasizing horizontal lines, rounded corners, and functional materials.
This Kensington one-bedroom has some graceful details of the period such as a built-in niche with shelves alongside recent updates, including a renovated kitchen. It's on the fourth floor of 40 Tehama Street, a six-story, 75-unit brick elevator building. The apartment complex opened in 1939, according to the certificate of occupancy. The red-brick Streamline Moderne building detailed with vertical and horizontal lines of bricks was designed by busy architect firm Kavy & Kavovitt. Appointments at the time included Electrolux fridges, according to a contemporary ad.
