Another one from my 'This is Hollywood' guide book that I'm not sure has gotten a mention here, though I could be wrong
'Just a few blocks north of Hollywood Blvd lie the remains of a once beautiful 148 acre estate...After passing through the main gates leading into the grounds a crumbling road takes you past the foundation and steps of what was once an English Gothic mansion......further up the curving road are the remains of tennis courts, two swimming pools and several cottages'
Google
Pretty sure that the tennis court in the centre of the grounds here.
And a chunk of ruins here
Here are the stairs

Estate was built 1919-20 by Carman Randolph Runyon, who sold it to Irish Tenor John McCormack in the '20s.
John McCormack
In 1942 Supermarket magnate Huntington Hartford bought the estate and let it slowly deteriorate over the period upto the early 60's
He lived to 97!!

anyone have any pictures of the original house??
Looks like the house was known as 'The Pines' and was once inhabited by Errol Flynn!
