Built in 1937 by renowned architect, James E. Dolena, it's one of the most important examples of Los Angeles architecture. Meticulously restored by Peter Marino in the Old Hollywood style of original interior designer - T.H. Robjohns Gibbons - every element has been thoughtfully considered. The scale and proportions are both grand and refined. The main residence features an elegant foyer with sweeping staircase leading to a grand entry hall with 18 ft ceilings.
