The Los Feliz home radiates good vibes — thanks to a girl born on Friday the 13th.

Go back in time to Charles E. Toberman's Hollywood hillside residential park in the late 1920s.

“The prettiest spot in Hollywood” was at the corner of Franklin and Whitley avenues: Pearl Park. In 1916, Stephen Willis built the bungalow court named after his new bride, Hollywood socialite Pearl Herndon, who grew up a block south at 1738 Whitley Avenue. The newlyweds settled in at 1838 Whitley, the largest of six duplexes in the Northern Italian-inspired residence park, designed by a local landscape engineer who experimented as architect. Along Whitley Avenue, the formal

A man’s home is his castle. But for Dr. A.G. Castles, his home was quite literally a castle: The eccentric art collector built a pair of royal residences across the street from each other on Argyle Avenue, his 30-acre kingdom. Glengarry Castle on Argyle Avenue (USC) The first, Glengarry, was completed in 1909 and earned recognition as one of the noteworthy mansions of the Hollywood foothills.

In 1916, the 54-year-old songwriter settled in Hollywood, buoyed by the success of her hits “I Love You Truly” and “A Perfect Day.” At the end of Pinehurst Road, in the valley below Yamashiro, Jacobs-Bond built a three-level craftsman. Its name symbolized the realization of her dreams: She had amassed an estimated $1 million fortune in royalties ($30 million today, with inflation).

On the corner of Franklin and Cherokee sits “10 stories of luxury and comfort”: the Montecito. Ahead of the residential hotel’s 1931 grand opening, reservations were accepted to rent the 79 furnished units, a mix of singles ($90) and doubles ($175). Amenities included subterranean garage, 24-hour service, Hollywood views — and eventually a commissary, despite one opposing councilman’s argument that residents were too “lazy” to go to the market.

One of Hollywood’s oldest landmarks, Yamashiro is a work of art. Yamashiro (USC) In 1911, German-born brothers Adolph and Eugene Bernheimer purchased seven hilltop acres from H.J. Whitley on the promise of building an exotic home. Three years (and hundreds of craftsmen from Japan) later, they completed their very own replica of a 17th-century temple located in Yamashiro, a mountainous region near Kyoto.
