\nPaul Rever
e Williams’s inspirational story has fascinated historians for the simple
fact that his journey was so improbable. The orphan son of an African Amer
ican fruit-and-vegetable merchant\, he was repeatedly told he had no chanc
e of ever realizing his childhood dream of becoming an architect. And yet\
, he ignored the naysayers to reach the pinnacle of his chosen profession\
, while overcoming widespread discrimination throughout early- to mid-twen
tieth century America. The odds against him succeeding were enormous.

\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.

WEDNESDAY OCTOBER 27TH\, 7:00 PM Clete Keith never
had thoughts of writing a book\, let alone one on the paranormal. He was n
ot someone totally convinced of the existence of ghosts or spiritual haunt
ings-until he started working at Greystone Mansion in Beverly Hills. After
twenty-two years working at the mansion\, he woke up one night with the i
dea of writing a book about the stories he has heard as well as his own ex
periences. Ghosts of Greystone – Beverly Hills is a landmark exposé of eye
witness accounts detailing supernatural activity associated with this extr
aordinary location.

\nHaving been approached by many guests\, patrons\, and employees over the years\, Keith has heard it all. “Two tourists walked up to me and asked how they could get inside the mansion for the tour. When I told them the interior i s closed to the public one replied\, ‘Oh\, because we saw a man in period clothing staring out the window and we thought he was part of the tour.’” This marks just one encounter of 237 paranormal stories documented at Grey stone Mansion. Keith spent nearly three years researching the supernatural activity at the estate. With 86 interviews\, including guests of the park \, City staff\, police officers\, movie crew personnel\, and janitorial se rvices\, Ghosts of Greystone – Beverly Hills promises you a riveting histo ry and ghostly encounters. For more than two decades\, the mystery surroun ding the strange events taking place in and around Greystone Mansion has b een suppressed\, ignored\, and disbelieved. Along with rare photographs an d intriguing details about the landscape and architecture\, Keith delves i nto the family of Ned and Lucy Doheny\, including the fateful murder/suici de on the night of February 16\, 1929\, and other unfortunate deaths that surround these enigmatic grounds that may have stoked the paranormal fire of activity. “People from all over the world come to visit this iconic loc ation. They want to peek behind the curtain and observe this ghostly estat e for themselves. Ghosts of Greystone – Beverly Hills will allow them to d o just that.”
