Three women ride in a horse-drawn carriage in an area of the gardens on the Japanese hilltop estate owned by Charles and Adolph Bernheimer, located at 1999 N. Sycamore Avenue in Hollywood. The hillside terraces included 30,000 varieties of trees, shrubs, waterfalls, hundreds of goldfish, and even exotic birds and monkeys. A few years later, the estate served as headquarters for the exclusive Hollywood "400 Club," an organization for the elite of the motion picture industry. After WWII, the home was remodeled and converted into apartments. Soon thereafter, Thomas O. Glover purchased the property and began the restoration of what was to become the Yamashiro restaurant.
