In its February issue, Los Angeles magazine runs through 26 "classic" LA things (in alphabetical order), with entries for Cobb Salad, the Figueroa Street tunnels, the Rainbow bar, terrazzo sidewalks, Vin Scully, yoga, and more. "A," of course, is for all the awesome architecture, and the magazine put together this handy guide to 16 classic examples of LA houses. While, as the mag notes, "The city of Los Angeles is stiched into nearly 900,000 parcels of land with almost as many architectural styles built on them," these 16 are some of the most common and most identified with LA--you'll definitely spot several on any average drive to the grocery store or scroll through Curbed.
