Property records show that architect L. Milton Wolf designed the house for Mrs. Anna Marr. A building permit was issued on October 11, 1923. Wolf must have liked the neighborhood a lot as he designed the English Revival style house next door for himself the following year (at No. 255 S. Rossmore).
The 6-bedroom, 7-bath house in 5556 sq. ft. is currently (June 2016) on the market listed for sale for $4,998.000 and described in the listing as "Once owned by royalty, this grand home is located on Diplomatic Row near Wilshire Country Club on one of Hancock Park's most prestigious streets.
