It sure sucks that it was torn down. 
I was confused by the 'tower' portion of the roof in the image below. ...To me it looks like a flat. . .umm. . .parallelogram.

Any information on the large house facing Sunset Blvd? ...................................................................This one. 
It appears to have had a porte cochere.

Yes, the information dug up on the old mansion at 1453 Vine Street by Lorendoc, Flyingwedge, and Noir_Noir is beyond impressive. As soon as Ethereal first put up the image & posed some questions I became fascinated...an eccentric, circa-1900 Hollywood mansion still standing in the 1960's, and in such an odd location. Hard to believe there are not photos of the full-size house, additions and all, out there. Here's hoping someone finds one or more.
