Exterior view of the Mission Revival/Islamic style Hollywood residence, art gallery and flower gardens of artist Paul de Longpre´, as seen from the corner. A mounted sign near the center of the image reads, "Stop at Twists [illegible] for hot & cold drinks hot coffee & sandwiches." The large residence was located on the west side of Cahuenga Blvd. at Hollywood Blvd. on property Longpre´ obtained from Mrs. Wilcox Beveridge after he moved to Los Angeles in 1889. The French-born artist desired the 65-foot-deep lots for what became his famed flower garden, which at one time included over 4,000 roses. The residence was a popular tourist destination for many years. The home was demolished in 1927.
