Roland Coate: Stern house (Holmby Hills, Calif.)

Real estate investor Jacob Stern commissioned this house from Coate in 1928. The over 9000 square foot estate was designed in the Mediterranean Revival style, on a 2.2 acre parcel of land. The 30 room mansion was sited on the crown of a hill, overlooking some of Holmby Hills' prime real estate. The house was later owned by Alfred and Betty Bloomingdale; it was recently sold and is undergoing extensive renovation of house and grounds.
The estate landscape design was by A.E. Hanson.
