One is a mansion frozen in time and filled with antique furniture and vintage items. The second home is the original carriage house belonging to the first, separated in the 1950s and filled with fantastic paintings and other objet d’art. The third home is a beautifully decorated manse updated just a few years ago with a surprise in the basement. The fourth home was once occupied by Dorothy Chandler.
