Exterior view of the Campbell Apartments at 130 Linden Avenue, an eleven-story Spanish Renaissance building providing deluxe apartments with hotel service. Scroll and swag decorations begin at the second floor and pyramid up to the fourth. An ornamental balcony is on the ninth floor. The central openings are bell-cast in shape and flanked by two windows on each side. Cars are parked on a lot accessed by the alley flanking the building and a motorcycle is parked at the curb. The Lafayette Hotel, constructed later in 1929, would occupy the site of the lot and alley.The Campbell Apartments were built by Reginald Campbell in 1928. He bought the Lafayette Hotel next door in order to protect the apartments. Currently both buildings, as well as the Lafayette addition, are part of the Lafayette Complex and have been declared Long Beach Historic Landmark 16.52.270. The architects were Parker O. Wright and Francis H. Gentry.
