Description
In this birds-eye view of the William Lear house in Los Angeles, the sprawling multi-winged house is seen perched on a hill overlooking the city. With a large circular motor court and pool with patio enclosed on all four sides by the house, it has some of the common features for May's custom houses. But as with some of his later custom homes, the scale of the patio and pool are increasingly grand, the motor court is larger, and the scale of the house has grown dramatically over his early ranch houses of the mid-30s.
