According to historian Charles J. Fisher, who worked to get the Jacobson Duplex on the list of Los Angeles Historic Cultural Monuments, "This streamline moderne duplex was designed by architect Harold Ogden Sexsmith in 1938. It consists of a high level of detailing throughout the structure, including dropped-cloud designs in the balcony railings that are reminiscent of the same design used by Greene & Greene in the Gamble House and others."
