A Dip into Hollywood

[Carlisle Blues]

Where the Annenberg Community Beach House now sits was originally developed during the Gold Coast era of the 1920s by William Randolph Hearst for actress Marion Davies. The Davies estate featured a mansion of 100-plus rooms and an ornate marble swimming pool.

I skate or ride my bicycle by that 3-4 days a week. I'm glad they were able to save then original pool and guesthouse at least!
