Print Report

alternate name

Vanderlip, F.A. [ORGO], Villetta, Villa Narcissa

location

100 Vanderlip Drive, Rancho Palos Verdes, CA , Los Angeles County

synopsis

As the developer of Palos Verdes Estates and Rancho Palos Verdes, Frank Vanderlip selected a location for his estate looking south over Portuguese Bend where the weather was the most pleasant. His grand plans for his estate were tempered by the Depression, but the gated entry road and the grounds of the Villa Narcissa still demonstrate the Olmsted design.
