\nPatrick J. Watson was born in 1876 to his parents\, C olonel James Alexander Watson of Scotland and Maria Dolores Dominguez on t he old Manual Dominguez Rancho\, which encompasses much of present day cit ies of Torrance\, Wilmington\, Compton\, Carson\, San Pedro and the South Bay area of Los Angeles. This was the first Spanish land grant in CA from King Carlos of Spain. Patrick Watson was the vice president of the Watson Land Co and in 1923\, he sold his share of the original Rancho property to The Pan American Oil Company which was a subsidiary of the Doheny Company . In the mid-1920s\, Patrick Watson & his wife\, Miss Mamie O’Farrell of S an Francisco\, were looking to move off of the original Rancho property an d decided to build a new home for themselves in the fashionable and develo ping area of Hancock Park.
\nPatrick hired the notable Architectural firm of Hunt & Burns to design his new family estate on a large double ac cess lot located on a prominent corner in the new district of Hancock Park . During their tenure together\, Sumner P. Hunt and Silas R. Burns built some of the most beautiful buildings in the Los Angeles area including: < a href='https://digital.lib.washington.edu/architect/structures/5029' targ et='_blank' rel='noreferrer noopener'>Automobile Club of Southern Californ ia\, Headquarters – 1921-1923\, Children’s Hospital\, Los Angeles – 19 10\, The Wilshire – Ebell Club\, Cl ubhouse – 1926-1927\, Los Angel es Public Library\, Vermont Square Branch – 1913\, McKinley House\, Lafayette Park\, Los Angeles\, CA – 1 917\, Scripps College\, Claremo nt\, CA – 1929\, The Los Angeles Tennis Club – 1927 and The Wilshire Country Club – 1919.
\nFor his new home\, Patrick Watson would enlist the services of the Sweden-born master builder C.J. Nordquist who had a well-deserved reputation for buil ding some of the grandest homes and public buildings in Los Angeles.
