Los Angeles, California

Los Angeles, often called simply L.A., is the largest city in the state of California and the second-largest (only to New York City) in the United States. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the Los Angeles metropolitan area has a total area of 4,850 square miles and is home to roughly 13 million people. Los Angeles was founded in 1781 by Spanish Captain Rivera y Moncada, yet it was not incorporated as a municipality until April 4, 1850—five months before California achieved statehood. It is the county seat of Los Angeles County. The Los Angeles area is one of the world's centers of culture, science, technology, international trade, and higher education, and is home to world-renowned institutions in a broad range of professional and cultural fields. The city and its immediate surrounding vicinity lead the world in producing popular entertainment—such as motion pictures, television, and recorded music—which forms the base of Los Angeles's international fame and global status.

    A grand mansion once stood on this site that belonged to Claudia Urlau Dillion (successful in real estate) and her husband John Webb Dillion (successful actor). They lived across the street or next door to Humphrey Bogart. The home was built with steel and granite and was so strong that when developers bulldozed the neighborhood they had to use dynamite to bring it down. When it was being built they used teams of mules to bring the granite out of the mountains. It had hand carved solid oak doors and woodwork and travertine tile throughout the home. It was 3 levels with quarters for maids and butlers on the lower/ basement level, living space on the main level and bedrooms and a large oak hall on the 3rd level. They were relatives of mine and I am looking for photos and information about their home, careers, friends and lives. Please share if you have any!
