==Architecture==
Completed in 1908, the three-story, 42-room mansion was designed by Frederick Louis Roehrig. Roehrig also planned the landscape gardens and layout of the grounds.〔 The mansion is located on a site that also includes a formal garden and carriage house with chauffeur's quarters.〔〔 When the house was completed, the ''Los Angeles Times'' published a full-page article accompanied by numerous photographs. The ''Times'' called it "among the finest homes in Los Angeles" and one of architect Roehrig's "best efforts." The ''Times'' described the exterior of the mansion as follows:"The house is distinctly of the typical English domestic architecture. The exterior is of stone and half timber and plaster finish, while the roof is of slate. It is probably the finest example of the purely English type of dwelling in this city." The ''Times'' also made note of the grand staircase describing it as "the stair builder's art in mahogany" lit by a large group of art glass windows.〔 The third floor was almost entirely taken up by a by ballroom with a large brick fireplace and an open truss and exposed beam ceilings.〔
