Alcove is housed in two of the oldest houses in Los Feliz: a Spanish duplex built in 1916 and a Craftsman cottage built in 1897. The address is 1929 Hillhurst Ave, Los Angeles, CA 90027.

The houses were originally built as private homes and converted to commercial use in the 1970s. Over the last 50+ years, the structures have contained specialty offices, a small private school, a real estate firm, and most recently an escrow company. Alcove became the face of this address in 2004.
