The DeMille Estate (1913): Old Hollywood’s Grand Hilltop in Laughlin Park
The DeMille Estate in Laughlin Park, built in 1914 for filmmaker Cecil B. DeMille, is one of the earliest Hollywood power homes. With its Italianate architecture, sweeping gardens, and rich film history, the estate reflects the birth of Hollywood itself and the rise of Los Angeles as a cultural capital.
