Remember this sign in my post from yesterday.

I just located a photograph of John Woolf posing in front of his office at 8450 Melrose Place.



Vanityfair

He is the person responsible for the Hollywood Regency architectural 'style'. (a precursor to post-modern architecture) We have no doubt talked about him previously on NLA)


Here is an abbreviated list of his work.

• Cary Grant, 9966 Beverly Grove Drive, Los Angeles.
• Errol Flynn, 7740 Mulholland Drive, Los Angeles.
• Vincente Minnelli and Judy Garland, 8850 Evanview Drive, Los Angeles.
• Barbara Stanwyck, 273 South Glen Boulevard, Los Angeles.
• Ira and Leonore Gershwin, 1021 North Roxbury Drive, Beverly Hills.

This guy's life is all kinds of interesting. He adopted his gay lover as his son. . .and then later in life, he adopted another gay man as his son. (total: two sons!)


I have only heard of one other gay gentleman who has done this. . .Robert Allerton of Chicago.
