Moorcrest is a house in Beachwood Canyon, Los Angeles, California, United States. It was built in 1921 for the Utopian Krotona Colony in Beachwood Canyon and was designed by Marie Russak, an architect who designed several buildings for the Theosophist community; Moorcrest is thought of as one of her most famous works.{{Cite web|url=https://underthehollywoodsign.wordpress.com/2009/07/06/marie-russak-hotchenor-and-moorcrest-the-theosophist-opera-singer-and-her-architectural-fantasia/|title=Marie Russak Hotchener and Moorcrest: The Theosophist Opera Singer and Her Architectural Fantasia|date=2009-07-07|website=Under the Hollywood Sign|access-date=2017-06-05}}
