synopsis

Two years prior to developing plans for their house, the Hardens hired the Olmsted Brothers to direct "a large amount of plantings" at their estate on the south coast of the Palos Verdes peninsula. In 1929 the Olmsted Brothers erected "a pergola, summer houses and walks around the beautiful quarter-mile stretch of the small bay between Portuguese Point and Inspiration Point."
