In 1911 she and the kids were just on another trip to a different part of the world until, they had Christmas dinner at the Hotel Hollywood - and she was able to wear a light Summer dress.

That revelation led to her renting a home on Martel and enrolling the kids in Hollywood High School. On school break they raced back to Paris where she got her wedding jewels out of the bank, sold them and came back and built this house in 1913 on Hay Street in what is now West Hollywood. A very fashion forward architect for the time. She was an art graduate from the Sorbonne.

She's on the right on the top deck on the right with their servant Sugano on the left.



Most of West Hollywood in this photo is planted with lima beans, alfalfa and poinsettias. The photo is from 1905.



This almost 40 years later, about 1952, age 74 at the same home - likely the first person in West Hollywood who could speak Russian.

Although the home hadn't moved, the address had changed to 1253 N Hayworth Ave - now a large apartment building.



This was the Hotel Hollywood, I think in the 1930s. - Now it's the Kodak Theater where they hold the Oscars.



Quite a bit smaller in 1911.
