Description
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.
