What wonderful pictures of the late 40s addition, though this was designed not by Myron Hunt, but by Paul R. Williams, with Tommy Tomson, landscape architect. The Getty just pulled Hunt since he was the original architect, I assume....

I decided to post the picture above when I found this earlier Julius Shulman set of the Ambassador's cottages. This is "Job 621: Myron Hunt, Ambassador Hotel, Cottages (Los Angeles, Calif.), 1949".
