This deluxe volume offers a meticulously researched and lavishly illustrated history of fifty magnificent estates in three of America s most prized residential districts: Beverly Hills, Bel-Air, and Holmby Hills. Lush color photographs as well as a trove of historical images take readers beyond the front gates for an exceptional view of the mansions, grounds, and gardens of these sumptuous estates and tell the history of Los Angeles s rise from rugged paddocks and farmland to famed metropolis. Each house is explored both for its historical and architectural importance, for here are the epitome of residences and gardens reflecting the famed Italianate and California Mediterranean styles by all the leading architects of Southern California, including Wallace Neff, James Dolena, Gordon Kaufmann, Robert Farquhar, Roland Coate, and Paul Williams. They built for clients such as Gary Cooper, Buster Keaton, Harold Lloyd, and Bing Crosby, whose own stories reflect the intrigue and foibles of Hollywood society. The book s final chapter, Gone but Not Forgotten, pays homage to great estates that have been destroyed or lost to history.
Jeffrey Hyland (1946 2022) was the president of Hilton & Hyland, the preeminent real estate brokerage firm in Beverly Hills. He was frequently quoted in The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, and Los Angeles Times as an authority on Southern California real estate, architecture, and history. Lori Hyland is the chairman and owner of Hilton & Hyland.
