This tour affords a visual feast blending classic Spanish Colonial Revival architecture with sleek Midcentury Modern designs.  It includes Frank Sinatra's avant-garde Modernist jewel by the renowned E. Stewart Williams.

In the post-WWII era, Sinatra made this neighborhood "his" when his Movie Colony home became Party Central. Many of his celebrity neighbors in this charming, prestigious area were his close friends--Tony Curtis, Janet Leigh, Bing Crosby, Bob Hope, among others.
