For the days you’re craving pure Beverly Hills escapism, The Legendary Estates of Beverly Hills is your portal past the front gates. This deluxe coffee table book traces fifty of the most iconic homes in Beverly Hills, Bel-Air, and Holmby Hills, capturing the moment Los Angeles shifted from rugged farmland to glittering, world-famous enclave.
Features:
A meticulously researched history of 50 legendary estates in Beverly Hills, Bel-Air, and Holmby Hills
Lush contemporary photography alongside rare archival images that reveal mansions, grounds, and gardens in rich detail
Deep dives into the Italianate and California Mediterranean architecture that defined an era
Showcases the work of celebrated architects like Wallace Neff, James Dolena, Gordon Kaufmann, Robert Farquhar, Roland Coate, and Paul Williams
Features homes built for Hollywood greats including Gary Cooper, Buster Keaton, Harold Lloyd, and Bing Crosby
Includes a “Gone but Not Forgotten” chapter honoring grand estates lost to time
How we style it:
Let it anchor your coffee table with a vintage match striker and a small bowl of lemons, or place it on a console beneath a framed black-and-white photograph. We love leaving it open to a favorite estate during gatherings — instant conversation, instant Old Hollywood mood, and a reminder that glamour and good stories never really go out of style.
