Paul Revere Williams, the first African American architect to be admitted into the ranks of the American Institute of Architects, was a prominent and prolific shaper of Southern California’s built landscape during the 20th century. A favorite amongst Hollywood heavy hitters, designing homes for the likes of Lucille Ball and Frank Sinatra, he was commissioned in the 1920s to build a Mediterranean Revival mansion in an exclusive area of Pasadena for local doctor and entrepreneur V. Mott Pierce. Now restored and updated for modern life, the opulent hillside dwelling is now up for grabs at $5.4 million. Meanwhile, the $25 million asking price of a lavish 1930s Tudor that has been expanded to more than 25,000 square feet and includes an indoor pool and a movie theater makes it the most expensive home currently on the market in Portland, Oregon. |
