Someone should restore the pictures into color as best described in the dining room! To see these historic homes and gardens in color!

That would be wonderful. With technology I'm sure it could happen.

When his widow sold Thomas Inces' house (Dias Dorados), they found a secret passage in the attic and peep holes in the ceilings of each of the guest rooms. Creepy!

[@user-mv9tt4st9k]

I love this. Our house is over 100 years old: there is something wonderful about the simplicity of our old house that lends itself well to minimized digital modern living.

Fame is indeed fleeting. A lot of these people I had never heard of. Many would later run into trouble thanks to two events. The first being the arrival of "talkie" films with sound. Lots of famous stars were not able to make the transition to the new movie type. And compounding that loss of regular high paying employment was the roughly simultaneous arrival of the Great Depression. Fortunes were lost on Wall Street and banks (uninsured in those days) collapsed, wiping out a lot of people who probably could not imagine a world without their name on movie house marquees and fat checks rolling in with regularity.

[@beverlybarnes3122]

I was thinking about the depression too. How one decade can be so different from another! No matter who you are or what you have. You can lose everything In the twinkling of an eye.

[@nicolemeece9485]

Such unique estates. Each one classy in their own way. Love the 1920's channel as a history buff!! Keep up the good work👍💕

[@SymphonyBrahms]

Thomas Ince owned the movie studio that was later owned by David O. Selznick. Ince was accidently shot and killed on William Randolph Hearst's yacht. The mystery of his death has never been solved.

We left England/Europe for freedom but just imported their class system's tastes and decor over here. It's Spanish, it's French, it's English... They're beautiful, so I'm not poking fun. But I wonder why we saw this whole new continent and made it look just like the old one. Do we have an 'American' style of architecture/decor? (We have Wally-World, Target, and La-Z-Boy/Ashley for the low-end of America's home/fashion, but do we have any 'high-end' style/architecture?) I feel like we're the masters of pre-fab: Apart from Frank Lloyd Wright, it's like all we've got otherwise are mobile homes or garish overkill. We tore down so many of these beautiful old homes to basically build McMansions. It makes me feel like America has no artistic voice.

[@brennocalderan2201]

It would be nice to have lived back in the 1920s and own a house in Hollywood, also have some celebrities as neighbors, I'd always invite many of them for a special dinner, talk about the ordinary routine.

[@laurilawson4368]

I love your channel what a great idea to do the 20s

[@debbied7035]

I wonder how many, if any, of these beautiful homes are still standing?

[@h.p.oliver8666]

Up until the 2010, a surprising number of Hollywood mansions were still standing. Since then, however, maintenance costs and taxes have resulted in many of the old homes in the Hollywood Hills simply being abandoned because few can afford them and most of their value is in the land they occupy. Traveling through the Hills today, you have to be careful because so many houses have been jammed in, you could end up taking someone's front door off if they happen to open it as you go by.

[@debbied7035]

@@h.p.oliver8666 I've noticed that in Pasadena, ca many of the lovely old houses are gone. Last time I was down there I noticed a couple of the remaining mansions had only their lovely 20's facades propped up and the rest of the house was gone. I mentioned that to my brother who told me they do that because new building permits are very difficult to get, so if the facade remains they call it a "remodel" and permits are much easier to get. They put the new house up and somewhere down the road they "remodel" the front. Every thing is gone.

[@jeanineadele]

When I moved to the San Fernando Valley there were many ranchettes with charming 1920s through 1940s house with beautiful tiled bathrooms. Pretty much all replaced with apartments and tract homes.

[@egrogan6482]

The house I grew up in was on Los Feliz Blvd and was built in 1917 by actor J. Carol Naish: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/J._Carrol_Naish Last I checked, the house is still there. It was a wonderful old home in English Tudor style, very elegant and beautiful. Zillow says it was built in 1927 but I was told by a neighbor who moved onto the st in 1917 that she remembers it being built in that same year. My parents sold it in 1976. I still miss it.

[@brad3327]

There are but many have disappeared. I think to let one of those beautiful gems be torn down is a sin.

[@annetheurich507]

Loved this &/part 2. Have several friends who have renovated these homes in Little Rock. Had original tiles, bathrooms, & kitchens. They also contained lots of furniture, dishes etc. they are just amazing!

[@deona267]

My husband and I really love the 20’s , you make them come alive again.

[@ilanamillion8942]

Jesse Lasky's house is my favourite and I also like Cecil B DeMille's place.

[@mistergrandpasbakery9941]

I've always been fascinated by architecture. But I failed miserably when I took 2 years of architecture in high school.

[@ryohn5468]

Architecture is not easy to learn. I believe it involves physics, plane geometry, lots of math ( calculus and trigonometry), engineering, drawing (esp mechanical and structural drawing, dimensional).i wanted to study it too but my math is not so great.

[@mercoid]

I enjoyed that very much. Thank you!

[@fran2177]

Your vidoes are so good, that I sit here waiting for more just to realize its ended 🙁 its like watching a good movie you dont want it to end 👍🏻😊

[@The1920sChannel]

Thanks so much!

[@marniebaker-winnick2296]

I don't know if you are interested or not, but I live in West Hollywood, CA, which is right next to Hollywood. I have lived here pretty much my entire life. The neighborhood I live in was built in 1928. Unfortunately, for the past few years some of the houses have been rebuilt into neo-modern mansions. But a majority of the original houses are still here. Its like looking at the golden age of Hollywood up close and in person! The architecture is amazing. If you ever find your way out to Los Angeles, I'd be happy to give you an in-depth guided tour!

[@taralynn7712]

I just discovered this channel..It is awesome!

[@cornbreadfedkirkpatrick9647]

As for the movie a few days ago I had that on VHS I loved it and the ending wasn't want I was expecting I still loved it and the other Metropolis and the strange case of Dr. Jeckyl and Mr. Hyde still fantastic oh did you know that his wife burnt the first manuscript on purpose he was so mad he didn't do anything but rewrote it and after that, they just drifted apart good idea

[@georgeelmerdenbrough6906]

How many of these are still standing ? I love art decco but there isn't much of it left . 100 year old homes are rarer than 200 year old homes

[@user-mv9tt4st9k]

There may be a few left. I believe Pickfair (Douglas Fairbanks' and Mary Pickford's home) is still in the Hollywood hills. There are cities like Monrovia or Pasadena that value their heritage and encourage the maintaining/restoration of old bungalows or craftsman homes.

[@Tams1978]

@@user-mv9tt4st9k Unfortunately, it was torn down in 1990. :-(

[@SymphonyBrahms]

@@user-mv9tt4st9k Pickfair was purchased by Pia Zadora in the 1990's. She tore down the original house and built a hideous imitation Italian villa in it's place. She still calls it Pickfair, but it's not the house that originally stood there.

[@ilanamillion8942]

Hollywood has absolutely no sense of history and that is very sad. Can you imagine if more of these wonderful old places were still around instead of the hideous McMansions that pass for taste these days among the rich.

[@joseybryant7577]

Are you going to do any more book related videos? A video on the obscenity trial of Ulysses, would be pretty interesting.

[@mistergrandpasbakery9941]

I had to watch this a second time!

[@hangin-in-thereawesome4245]

Enjoy your videos of the houses and the stories behind them!

[@jackmorrison7379]

Happily, the English style thatched cottage with running water and working stove of Gloria Lloyd, child of Harold Lloyd and Mildred Davis Lloyd was saved when most of the large estate was lost to auction sale after Harold's death. The mansion of Harold is also now preserved as a landmark, and the courtyard in front as well. But the 9 hole golf course, waterfall, canoe stream, arched bridge, marble cascade fountain, and Olympic size pool (once the largest private pool in CA), all gone.

1920's residential homes are my favorite. I believe in the 1920's is when apartment living became popular. I love the old apartment buildings as well. My paternal grandmothers family moved to California in the early 1900's. I have pictures of the 1920's Tudor Mansion my Great Grandparents lived in. It still stands today surprisingly with a lot of vegetation and other homes, but at the time no other house was to close. There weren't many trees and I heard stories how you reach out the kitchen window and pick oranges from the tree. You could see rows and rows of orange tree's. A lot of the beautiful homes that were owned by family members have been brought down to build homes that I do not think are worth the sacrifice of a classic. It seems a lot of 1920's gems have disappeared, which is so sad. This has happened all around the country. On my maternal side of my family is happened to many homes. One quick example and I will shut up. In 1877 my mom's family began to summer in Newport, RI. Some of us are still there today. In 1963 my great grand mother passed away. Her Newport Summer was sold and torn down. It was a guided age mansion. Nothing majorly wrong with it. According to my mom it just needed delayed maintenance and refurbishment. The buyer built in its place several different homes. I have pics of the home from construction to demolition. I can't stand to see any beautiful home from the past torn down. I know we can't save all but I wish we could. Thank you for this channel. I love it so much.

[@ilanamillion8942]

Pistachio green and pale violet colours in the dining room? I am trying to picture that and I can't. It's too bad Photoplay didn't have colour photos in those days.

[@wyominghome4857]

Pistachio and pale lavender? That sounds rather hard to live with. :)

[@user-mv9tt4st9k]

Ha ha ha... those are two of my favorite colors, it sounded like a wonderful combination to me.

[@sarashelby3037]

Pale green and lilac purple .....sounds pretty!

Wouldn't it be nice if there were a few pictures in color?

[@CarolAnn-gh9fl]

Most of these homes are long gone, very unfortunate

[@OleGeezerCirca1941]

😊👍

[@sarahgray430]

With the exception of Cecil B. De Mille's house most of these aren't that much bigger or more lavish than a typical upper middle class house of the period (though the gardens seem to be extremely nice) However, I would NOT want a dining room decorated in pistachio green and violet...that's a bit tacky!

[@carolaubrey9649]

Pistachio green and violet is actually very beautiful. Add some peach and it is one of my favorite color combos. As a former florist, I loved putting those three colors together. A deep violet/purple, a medium peach and then the pale green are yummy, IMHO.

[@sarahgray430]

@@carolaubrey9649 I guess we have different tastes...I prefer earth tones or shades of green.

[@Vixen781]

Probably popular during that time.

[@sarahgray430]

@@Vixen781 yeah...although I generally associate pastels with either the early Sixties or the late Eighties. I suppose it might work if you used more greyish pastels (lavender and sage green rather than pistachio and violet) like my grandmother did,but I for one like darker colours.

[@SymphonyBrahms]

Cecil B. DeMille's house is still standing. Angelina Jolie bought it in 2017 and paid a record price of $24.5 million dollars for it.

[@jolynnwhite7946]

It’s an veritable tale of Hollywood history of mansions , property in proportions attained by the new rich. This in itself is of historic importance. How a formally county in ascetic became play land of the nervous rich. Spreading out in proportion. Taste and culture affecting the global sphere . Of note and import as to effect of social order.
