As you know it is just about the only "grand house" in Southern California, unlike the area where this post originates. What fun you must be having in the midst of so much history, glamour and luxury. I adore houses and gardens, the grander the better. I feel more kinship with more humble spots but who could pass up a chance to view some of these - wow!
