Visual Materials
Correspondence, documents and drawings related to a residence built in 1936 for Leland K. Whittier and his wife, Laura L. (Pike) Whittier, in Holmby Hills, Los Angeles, California. Includes correspondence from architect Roland Coate and landscape architects Florence Yoch and Lucile Council, along with drawings of the garden plan. Also included are invoices and receipts for china, silverware, rugs, light fixtures, furniture and other household decor. The invoices are chiefly addressed to Laura L. Whittier and include receipts for several fur coats. Some notes refer to a decorator, Miss Gordon Kaufmann. Three black-and-white snapshot photographs show the house exterior in 1940, which was an example of American Colonial Revival residential architecture. The house later gained renown as the home of Lauren Bacall and Humphrey Bogart from 1952 until Bogart's death in 1957.
