General
Historic plate number: "14."
Designed by Pasadena-based archtects, Marston & Van Pelt in 1913 for mining tycoon and railroad heir William Kennon Jewett, this Palladian-style home originally spanned over 9 acres. It was eventually subdivided to 2.5 acres by the 1950s. The extensive grounds included manicured gardens, lily ponds, tennis court, and swimming pools. In the 1980s, Arden Villa became known as the "Dynasty Mansion" after the TV drama series filmed a scene in the home's lily pond.
