  • ...a must have coffee table book!

    Beautiful photos illustrating one of Beverly Hill's neighborhood gems of residential architecture. The large "coffee table" book is filled with stunning photos of homes with history of the original architect/designers, owners, and any significant "reimaging"....and in some cases complete removal/replacements. Included is the story of the Greystone Mansion and its creator Edward Doheny and the connection to the development of the Trousdale Estates. There are many historical photos and or references to well-known previous home owners and the original developer Paul Trousdale. Also included are limited number of historical photos of Beverly Hills taken from the air that also include the Beverly Hills Hotel in it's infancy. Much, much more. If you are familiar with Beverly Hills, this is a must have book to grace your coffee table.
