Description
The Harold Lloyd estate, also known as Green Acres, was a 15-acre property with golf course, swimming pool, 900 foot long canoe racing area, handball court, and many additional outbuildings and features. Hanson designed all of the landscape features, and worked with architect Sumner Spaulding on the placement of the Tuscany-style house on the grounds. Harold Lloyd was a very famous actor and producer in the 1920s, but whose fortunes declined over the years; he lived in the house until he died in 1971. The estate was then subdivided into multiple lots and sold off.
