Gloria Swanson Estate (former site)
Former location of silent star Gloria Swanson's estate. Purchased in 1922 from King Gillette (razor blades fortune), the house was a restrained Southern California adaptation of the Italian Renaissance style, with cream color stucco walls and a red tile roof, the 2-story home was one of the largest in Beverly Hills. It was 115 feet wide and 100 feet deep with 22 rooms, 5 baths and was built around 3 sides of a 1,000 square foot terrace.

Unfortunately it was razed to the ground and redeveloped by Mohamed Hadid. See the latest incarnation, Le Palais, at the link below.
