Trousdale Estates Tour
Led by Architectural Historian and Author Steven Price
The first tour of the series guided guests through architecturally significant mid-century luxury homes in Beverly Hills in the spectacular wooded hills above Sunset Boulevard. Once part of the famous Doheny Ranch, the 429-acre tract of land is one of the world’s foremost hubs of modernist architecture during the ’50s and ’60s. Lunch was enjoyed on the expansive lawn of the Decter/Simon residence, designed by Howard Frank (1959), featuring Trousdale’s only known natural spring.
