of westerns and comedies, Dwan directed fellow-Canadian Mary Pickford, as well as her husband

introduction of the talkies, he directed child star Shirley Temple in several films, including "Heidi" and

"Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm." Over his 50-year career, Dwan directed over 400 films, many of them

Reason: Significant as part of the Janss-Letts residential family compound. "Owlwood," early Holmby Hills

estate and long-time residence of Florence Letts Quinn, wife of Broadway department store founder

Arthur Letts. After divorcing Letts, Florence lived here with her second husband, businessman Charles

H. Quinn. They lived here until her death in 1944, after which Charles Quinn sold the estate. This

property was part of a "family compound" comprised of five Janss and Letts family residences which

surrounded the northwest corner of the Los Angeles Country Club property and overlooked the golf

course. The Janss and Letts families were early residents of Holmby Hills and Westwood, and they all

constructed showcase residences which highlighted the architectural character and prestige of the

neighborhood to attract potential residents. This property is one of only three extant residences of

the original collection of five Janss/Letts family homes. The other properties are the Emma Janss

Residence (10224 Charing Cross) and the Arthur Letts Jr. Residence (10236 Charing Cross).

Subsequent owners of this property purchased each of the adjacent parcels fronting Sunset Bl. (the

property at 10060 Sunset Bl. was the Edwin Janss Estate; the property at 10100 Sunset Bl. was Jayne

Mansfield's famed "Pink Palace.") to expand the estate. The three properties were offered for sale

together for the first time in 2000. The residences at 10060 and 10100 have since been demolished.
