In 1928 Jack married Mrs.Marion Waugh Brashears, a beautiful, though domineering, widow and heiress, who he had known for 10 years. They lived in the Palos Verdes Estates (PV had been designed by Gill's friend, Frederick Law Olmstead) |
Interesting post,
tovangar, just two tiny things. That's not 1507 S Hoover, but rather 1513/1515. The apartment building numbered 1501/3/5 now sits on the site of 1507, which is pictured, in part, here:

Also... it's
Olmsted, not Olmstead. I know that may seem picayune, but followers of his work go ballistic with the all-too-common misspelling. (Something learned the hard way working for a shelter magazine in my youth.)
