Hidden Public Places

Those in the Hollywood area might not consider this place hidden, but I know that we were surprised to find that it existed. Off of Sunset and Doheny is a place called "Greystone Mansion". It is leased by the American Film Institute and has been seen in numerous movies. It also has an interesting history behind it. The grounds are for public use (as long as they aren't filming) and it is a really beautiful and serene place with a spectacular view.

What cool place! Not all that expensive if you want to rent the place (outdoors only) for a wedding or other soirée.

A friend of mine in LA took me to the Doheny mansion, or Greystone while he was attending UCLA... I fell in love..
I looked in every window I could, and wanted to know so much more about the site, the grounds...

If you havent seen it, I reccomened it without question.

I used to work across the street from Mount St. Mary's College and would walk through their grounds at lunch. The Doheny Mansion is impressive (they hold concerts inside but I've never been to one) but the whole campus is these large old houses surrounded by gardens and it's quiet even when classes are in session.

(My desk used to be next to a window overlooking this area. Now I'm in the O.C. with a stellar view of the 405 and the Big Giant IKEA.)
