This is the old Bernheimer mansion overlooking Hollywood. It is currently the home of the Yamashiro restaurant. The grounds feature an imported 600 year old pagoda. I hope I'll make it there someday and see the view. In my novel Valhollywood, Jake and Kitsu have a discussion of history, metaphysics, and the end of the world in the Japanese gardens here.
