The compound traces its origins to a 1924 warehouse that once housed the printing press of the Venice Vanguard newspaper
A landmark property tied to Venice’s early newspaper history has hit the market for $7.7 million, offering prospective buyers the chance to own a distinctive piece of Southern California architectural heritage.
Located at 120 and 122 Mildred Ave., the property known as the Vanguard Lofts spans more than 7,000 square feet and includes six bedrooms and 6½ bathrooms. The compound traces its origins to a 1924 warehouse that once housed the printing press of the Venice Vanguard newspaper.
The property has since been transformed through a renovation designed by architect Danny Kaplan, blending preserved elements of the original warehouse with modern industrial design. Exposed structural features and expansive interiors reflect the building’s historic roots while accommodating contemporary residential use.
Marketed as a rare offering, the compound combines two addresses into a single residential estate.
