The English Tudor house has a storied history; from the early 1900s until WWI, Julita Miner, granddaughter of a former governor of Spanish California and her husband, Capt. Randolph Miner were reigning socialites of Los Angeles, entertaining lavishly at the home. In later years Theda Bara, Fatty Arbuckle, Joseph Schenk and Norma Talmadge would also call the mansion home.

Today the home is the AMAT House of the Congregation Of The Mission. Located at 649 West Adams Blvd.
