St.

Andrews Bungalow Court is a grouping of bungalows built in 1919–20 in the Colonial Revival style in Hollywood,


California. Based on the structures' well-preserved multi-family courtyard architecture, the grouping was added to the National
Register of Historic Places in 1998.[2][1] The listing included 15 contributing buildings.[2]
St. Andrews Bungalow Court was featured in the 2007 20th Century Fox movie Alvin and the Chipmunks as well as its 2009
sequel.[3] It served as the home of Dave Seville (played by Jason Lee), one of the main characters of the movie.
It was built as an investment for Fay Sudrow, a widow. It was "an example of an 'owner/builder' construction, a common
practice in early Hollywood", in which standard, inexpensive, wood-frame construction was done, without use of an architect or
non-essential decorative refinements. Architectural plans for part of the complex might have been purchased from a design
service.[2]
