A couple of prior posts re the Brunswig house:

The referenced article refers to Arnie Payne, Physique Pictorial model, as ''Arnie Gaines''. Which is it?

Gaylord Wilshire, with his vast knowledge of the Wilshire area, correctly identifies the mansion as the Lucien Brunswig house at 3528 West Adams Blvd. When was it torn down? The photo of Arnie was supposedly taken in 1966. [ Physique Pictorial (Vol. XVI, December 1966]. Bravo GW for your sharp eyes.!

From the looks of the lawn in the PP photo, the party was long over in 1966. From the looks of the model, the party is just beginning. I wonder how the owner of Los Angeles movie studio Athletic Model Guild, publisher of PP, got access to the Brunswick mansion? Could one just walk in and pose your models, willy-nilly?

I also doubt that the model named Arnie is 14. He's probably more like 18 or even older. We need to get to the bottom of this noir mystery and pronto.
