The article text focused on the #compound's 3 modernistic dwellings and the owner's recent #subterranean man-cave addition overseen by the original architect of the #HeptagonHouse
I checked a few other #clinx after and one lead to the property's prior purchase history. Apparently in 1998 the 6 acre parcel was valued at just about $500K, the same as my hillside home a year or two later.
I like to imagine that perhaps a property transfer exchange was arranged in some #alternity where #PittmanDowell lived out the remainder of their lives in another #Maltzan masterpiece on the westernmost slopes of #Silverlake below #Hollywood
The view below is what they would have got in trade for the one shown in #KPL02
It's the one beyond the window, behind The Musician in the movie #UnderASilverLake
It's from directly due west farther down the hillside, #LEGALLY just over 250 yards away
I hiked once to #MtHollywood overlooking the #Observatory w/ my #Decathlete #GG.
Never got to the #sign
