The Doheny Mansion: A Biography of a Home by MaryAnn Bonino
The
story of the fascinating evolution of one of Los Angeles’ most
magnificent landmarks follows the path of two exceptional lives, Edward
L. Doheny and his wife, Estelle. Making his way through dark mine
shafts and dusty oil fields to the marble halls of politics and
finance, Doheny presided over one of the world’s largest oil empires at
a critical time. Growing wealth and aspirations, cultural and
philanthropic interests — even his years in the Wild West — were all
reflected in the development of the Chester Place mansion, with
sumptuous entertainments, friends in high places, and the inevitable
ghosts in the attic.
