Greystone Mansion and Gardens is a historic estate in Beverly Hills, at 905 Loma Vista Drive. Built in 1928 for oilman Edward Doheny, the Tudor Revival mansion is known for its stone exterior and dramatic staircases. The grounds are the main reason to stop: walk among formal gardens, ivy-covered walls, fountains and broad terraces, or take photographs of the architecture. Indoor rooms are not open for regular visits, so plan this as an outdoor stroll rather than a mansion tour.
A 1928 Tudor Revival estate
Oilman Edward Doheny commissioned Greystone Mansion in 1928. Architect Gordon Kaufmann designed the Tudor Revival residence, whose stonework and formal grounds give the estate its distinctive character. Also known as the Doheny Mansion, it became one of Beverly Hills’ best-known historic landmarks.
The property is associated with Hollywood filmmaking, including appearances in films such as The Big Lebowski and There Will Be Blood. Its grand exterior, staircases and terraces provide much of the cinematic setting.
Walking the gardens
The visit centres on the grounds. Take time to look at the fountains, flowerbeds, mature trees and ivy-covered walls, as well as the mansion’s exterior details. The landscaped paths and open views make the estate suitable for an unhurried walk or photography.
Regular visits focus on outdoor areas rather than the interior rooms. Check the city’s Greystone Mansion and Gardens page before setting out if you are hoping to attend a special event or find out whether access arrangements have changed.
