Looking northwest on N. Crescent Dr from Lomitas Ave, with Beverly Hills Hotel in the background, 1915From this 1915 shot, we can see how the Beverly Hills Hotel was considered a country resort when it was built (three years earlier). It’s amazing to think that we’re looking northwest on N. Crescent Dr from Lomitas Ave, and there’s only one house in view. And yes, that house is still there!

  1. Very interesting – we lived at 506 N Crescent Dr. Bought house for $12,500 in 1941
    or 1942 and parents sold it in 1962 for about $50,000. Your friend, Louella.
