Title supplied by cataloger. The forty-nine acre estate known as the Wattles Estate includes a mansion, known as "Jualita," and large formal garden and was developed by Gordon W. Wattles, a wealthy banker and railway company president from Omaha, Nebraska. The home and garden are the work of architects Myron Hunt and Elmer Grey. The property is bounded on the south by Hollywood Blvd. and on the west by Curson Avenue and the east by Sierra Bonita Avenue. The rise of the property from the south to the foothills in the north is 1000 feet. The gardens were later turned over to Hollywood Heritage, Inc., which rents the building for private functions, such as weddings, film shoots, and family celebrations.
