Title A name given to the resource John Elgin Woolf (1908-1980): Hollywood Regency style houses Description An account of the resource John Elgin Woolf was trained as an architect at the Georgia Institute of Technology, and moved to Los Angeles in 1936, hoping to get into the movie business. He did not become an actor, but became acquainted with George Cukor, who introduced him to a wide range of celebrity clients for his design and architecture firm. The vast majority of buildings designed by Woolf were private residences, either additions, alterations, or entire houses. Hollywood Regency as an architectural style encompassed some aspects of French Normandie and English Regency styles, but with a decidedly theatrical flair in image-conscious Hollywood. With mansard roofs, oversize 'Pullman' doors, oval windows, Doric columns, and large swaths of color (both inside and out), Woolf's Hollywood Regency style stands out among the more traditional houses, and in sharp contrast to the newer mid-century modern. These residences were mostly located in Beverly Hills, along with a few in Montecito and country club commissions in Palm Desert.

Description An account of the resource The house for Pendleton in Beverly Hills was one of the first and most complete realizations of Woolf's Hollywood Regency style. With the large front entrance door, mansard roof, and symmetrical oval windows flanking the front door, the residence contains all of Woolf's signature style. John B. Pendleton and his wife, Mary Frances, requested Woolf design a single-story house, since Mary was unable to climb stairs. They also requested a pool, cabana, entertainment space, and plans drawn up within one week. The house became Woolf's first major commission in Los Angles, and led to many of his other projects.

Description An account of the resource The Menefee house, near Santa Monica Boulevard, is another example of Woolf's signature front facade. With a tall entry door, large covered windows flanking either side, and a circular driveway, the alterations to the house are classic Hollywood Regency style. The shutters covering the windows provide a wall of privacy facing the public street, which is another signature of Woolfs' designs. http://128.111.216.75/files/original/56509a4e9bb4cecec1928a30d521f68d.jpg 8110879191ba518f4ba8448ba147f34b http://128.111.216.75/files/original/eeaa5babf19881b4ab894ab85b7a12d5.jpg bd7c6069bf1215bc729a3a773773bd45 http://128.111.216.75/files/original/9ab5015b3b9d7b1d3ca3594492f081d7.jpg ae4e4569c0ef73d806632ac8e05b3fd2 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

A wide driveway leads up to a motor court and the main entrance of the house, with a mansard roof, oversize Pullman door, and symmetrical wings with shuttered windows-- all classic Hollywood Regency architectural features. A sculpture garden overlooks a wide lawn, and a pool with pool house and cabana sit sheltered on the north side of the house. http://128.111.216.75/files/original/8d15c6275edf9bbd12ddfd79a6594528.jpg ee3b10b48c2856b11e975d4b897c7a1c http://128.111.216.75/files/original/deb9a9472e8a82c0cbf3372fc92a93b6.jpg 5fa479ccdd4cf488198a7200f2055aa4 http://128.111.216.75/files/original/00958cfd7e56a36cd694d363e8883cdb.jpg 6fcc774096033c129446377cf96d4152 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

The semi-circular driveway allowed for parking of cars, an important feature since Hornburg was the first dealer to import Jaguar cars to the United States. As a former advertising executive, Hornburg marketed the cars to Hollywood celebrities and movie executives.

The vast majority of buildings designed by Woolf were private residences, either additions, alterations, or entire houses. Hollywood Regency as an architectural style encompassed some aspects of French Normandie and English Regency styles, but with a decidedly theatrical flair in image-conscious Hollywood. With mansard roofs, oversize 'Pullman' doors, oval windows, Doric columns, and large swaths of color (both inside and out), Woolf's Hollywood Regency style stands out among the more traditional houses, and in sharp contrast to the newer mid-century modern. These residences were mostly located in Beverly Hills, along with a few in Montecito and country club commissions in Palm Desert.
