The Landfair Apartments, is a historic two-building multi-family complex located on the southwest corner of Landfair Avenue and Ophir Drive in the Westwood neighborhood of Los Angeles, California.
It was designed in 1937 in the International style of architecture by noted Los Angeles Modernist architect Richard Neutra. It originally consisted of five townhouses and two apartments, but was purchased in 1941 by the University Cooperative Housing Association. The Landfair Apartments were colloquially known as "The Glass House" and was renamed Robison Hall after UCHA member Everett Robison was drafted and killed in action in World War II.
More recently while being upgraded to meet current codes by UCLA, the exterior was restored to its original appearance and one apartment was also restored to its original appearance.
On May 20, 1987, the City of Los Angeles designated the building a Los Angeles Historic-Cultural Monument.
