The foyer circa 1965. This is when the City of Beverly Hills was attempting to purchase the mansion. Who on Earth painted all the woodwork white?! Rachel Ashwell?! This photo was published in the Herald-Examiner with the following caption:
Even stripped of furnishing, the old mansion retains an irreplaceable charm of yesteryears. Mrs. Leonard Horwin and Jo Van Ronkel, chairman of Citizens for Greystone, walk down the staircase of the entrance hall. The mansion rises majestically from a forested knoll above Doheny Road and Loma Vista Drive and occupies an 18-acre area. Note the architectural details of the entrance hall. Photo dated: May 15, 1965. Photo from lapl.org
