Featured in countless movies and TV shows (The Big Lebowski, There Will Be Blood), this 1927 Tudor Revival mansion was designed by Hoover Dam architect Gordon Bernie Kaufmann. It was a gift from oil tycoon Edward L Doheny to his son Ned and his family. In 1929 the oil heir and his male secretary were both found dead in an alleged murder-suicide – a mystery that has been debated endlessly ever since.
While the elegant grounds – which offer commanding views of LA – are open daily, the lavish interior is only open sporadically.
