    A bit hard to tell because the far distance is so fuzzy, but it looks like a western view to me.

    Property records show that the existing home at that address was built in 1926, so it’s the house from which the older picture was taken. My guess is that the view is facing south-ish. The house is currently listed for sale for $39,000,000.

    Is Brentwood named after Arthur Brent?
