The John Barrymore love nest. This home with its Moorish balcony and serine circular living room was designed by Cedric Gibbons, famed MGM set designer. It was built for the director of Shirley Temple's early movies, and Barrymore was its second owner. There was at one time great painted ceilings and tile work but by the time Jeff & Carol Ester purchased the house it was uninhabitable with only small scraps left of its former greatness.
