^ if that's the house you were thinking of, then, yes, for some reason there are almost no really good pics of it, & nothing of it in the usc digital library. that's surprising cuz it was one of the most impressive looking mansions in the adams section of LA. Its north & south sides had white columned porticos, sort of like a White House of LA. The LA unified school dist tore it down over 30 yrs ago in a notorious case of incompetency & negligence.
