About the Item

Crestmount is the Mediterranean Revival Style mansion built by architect Robert D. Farquhar in 1923 for Antonio Morino "The It Man" and Daisy Canfield Moreno. It is LA historic cultural monument no. 391 and is also known as the Paramour Estate and the Canfield-Morino Estate. Numerous music videos and films have been set here. Antonio Morino was a leading silent film star and Director who continued working in film into the 1950's. The painting is signed with a monogram and name that is likely listed artist Lyndon Everett Ballou and it is also dated 1923 on the lower right. It is painted on board and there is a long penciled inscription reading "Home of Antonio Morino movie star / Hollywood District, Los Angeles, Cal. / View from the campus of the University of California / at L.A. Lake Hollywood in the distance. "Cursive" "F or L" E Ballou / July 1923. The inscription on the back may have been written by Lyndon Everett's brother Frederic Ellsworth Ballou. Lyndon is listed in Artists in California, 1786-1940 and Frederic is not known to have been a painter. This is a fantastic opportunity to buy a century old piece of California history with an extraordinary Hollywood "Castle on the Hill" perspective and connotations.
