简介

本书是权威洛杉矶宅邸著作的修订再版，呈现了美国最负盛名的三个住宅区——比弗利山庄、贝莱尔和霍姆比山庄——五十座宏伟宅邸的历史。丰富的全新彩色照片和大量历史图像带读者走进大门，一览这些奢华宅邸的豪宅、庭园和花园，并讲述了洛杉矶从崎岖的围场和农田崛起为著名大都会的历史。每座住宅都从历史和建筑重要性两方面进行探讨，这里汇聚了南加州所有顶尖建筑师设计的意大利风格和加州地中海风格住宅典范，包括Wallace Neff、James Dolena、Gordon Kaufmann、Robert Farquhar、Roland Coate和Paul Williams。他们为Gary Cooper、Buster Keaton、Harold Lloyd和Bing Crosby等客户建造住宅，这些客户自身的故事也反映了好莱坞社会的 intrigue 与人性弱点。本书最后一章“已逝但未被遗忘”向那些已被毁或湮没于历史的伟大宅邸致敬。该版本是2008年首版的修订与扩充版，新增了大量新摄影作品和深入研究。

A revised and expanded edition of the authoritative book on the legendary estates of Beverly Hills, Bel-Air, and Holmby Hills—the three most prized residential districts in America. Featuring fifty magnificent estates, this deluxe volume is illustrated with lavish new color photography and a trove of historical images that take readers beyond the front gates for an exceptional view of the mansions, grounds, and gardens of these sumptuous properties. The book tells the history of Los Angeles's rise from rugged paddocks and farmland to a famed metropolis. Each house is explored for its historical and architectural importance, showcasing the finest examples of Italianate and California Mediterranean styles by all the leading architects of Southern California, including Wallace Neff, James Dolena, Gordon Kaufmann, Robert Farquhar, Roland Coate, and Paul Williams. They built for clients such as Gary Cooper, Buster Keaton, Harold Lloyd, and Bing Crosby, whose own stories reflect the intrigue and foibles of Hollywood society. The book's final chapter, "Gone but Not Forgotten," pays homage to great estates that have been destroyed or lost to history. This edition is a revised and expanded edition of the original book (first published in 2008), featuring new photography and additional research.
