Description	A swan enjoys the lake on the estate previously owned by Charles and Adolph Bernheimer, located at 1999 N. Sycamore Avenue in Hollywood. The 1914 hilltop estate, based on a palace located in the Yamashiro mountains near Kyoto, Japan, was built to house the brothers' priceless collection of Asian treasures. In the late 1920s/1930s, around the time this photograph was taken, the estate served as headquarters for the exclusive Hollywood "400 Club" an organization for the elite of the motion picture industry. After WWII, the home was converted into apartments and the lake shown here into a swimming pool. Soon thereafter, Thomas O. Glover purchased the property and began the restoration of what was to become the Yamashiro (Mountain Palace) restaurant.
