Historical Data	In 1887, Bradbury bought the 35-room structure, complete with 5 chimneys and 5 turrets, from one-time County Clerk J.W. Potts for $125,000. It was occupied for years by various movie studios, including J.A.C. Film Manufacturing Co., who moved into the building in 1913. Hal Roach occupied it with Harold Lloyd, who referred to the mansion as "pneumonia hall", due to the building's high level of draftiness. It also served as a luncheon center for area Supreme Court judges and as a boarding house. Designed by Samuel and Joseph Carter Newsom, the house was finished in 1887 at a cost of $80,000; it was demolished in 1929.
