Regarding La Casa Sueño De Lewis. Originally built for silent film star Lewis Stone, the 6500 sq. ft. house has stucco cladding, low pitched tile roof, and decorative glazed tile and ironwork. It is an example of "Hollywood movie star" commissioned residential architecture. Many celebrities built vacation ranch homes in the San Fernando Valley to get away from the Hollywood surroundings. Less than a handful of these properties exist today.
