After acquiring a 25,000+ square foot lot high in the Los Feliz hills, wealthy entrepreneur William C. Hay commissioned architect Charles C. Kyson to design his personal residence in 1924. The result, featured in a 1925 edition of Architectural Digest (Vol. 5 Issue 1, p47-49,) is a 5 bedroom, 6 bathroom Spanish Colonial brimming with old Hollywood elegance. Virtually every room takes advantage of the panoramic views of Los Angeles. Equally impressive is the elegant dining room, sourced in England and reassembled in its entirety (stained-glass windows and all) off the grand entryway on the main floor. The inviting den with fireplace offers the perfect respite for family and guests. The elaborate library, with a built-in humidor, offers another stately retreat.
