Yamashiro Historic District
Since 1914
The Yamashiro Historic District is located on Sycamore Avenue in the Hollywood Hills, Los Angeles, California, United States.
The villa that forms the district's centerpiece was constructed from 1911 to 1914 by artisans and craftsmen from Japan for the German-American Adolph Leopold Bernheimer (1866-1944) and Eugene Elija Bernheimer (1865-1924) [noted as brothers to Charles L. Bernheimer] to house their collection of Japanese art and valuable items. Mainly acquired in Japan and
China, their collection comprised ukiyo-e prints, silk paintings, Buddhist sculptures and wall paintings, wood carvings, jades, bronze sculptures, furniture, and “Oriental” goods.
