Fascination with celebrities is nothing new. The public cannot get enough of where they lived and where they played. In his book, Jeffrey Hyland records some of the most luxurious Holmby Hills houses. On Carolwood Drive in the Holmby Hills Estates, stands a work of art, designed by Santa Barbara architect George Washington Smith. This estate in Holmby Hills is considered to have been a romantic expression of the Spanish Colonial Revival in Southern California during the 1920's. With five acres of gardens and grounds, a dramatic stepped waterfall of cascading shells, this is nothing less than a masterpiece to behold.
