Summary

"Over a career spanning six decades, architect Paul Revere Williams came to define what gracious living looked like for the Hollywood elite. Williams mastered an array of architectural idioms--including American Colonial, Spanish Mediterranean, English Tudor, French Normandy, Art Deco, and, of course, the California ranch style--to create the sophisticated yet understated showplaces that are featured here in all new full-color photography"--Front flap.
