Trousdale Estates Lecture & Book Signing with Steven M. Price at Greystone Mansion

Filled cover-to-cover with beautiful, vivid photographs, Trousdale Estates is the definitive history of the architecture and design that defined both Beverly Hills and the ultimate American Dream.

Steven M. Price is a historian, Design & Preservation Consultant and Author of “Trousdale Estates: Midcentury to Modern in Beverly Hills.”

Trousdale Estates is a 410-acre enclave of large, luxurious homes in Beverly Hills, California. Primarily developed in the 1950s and the 1960s, it quickly became famous for its concentration of celebrity residents and the unrestrained extravagance of its midcentury modern architecture. Often working with unlimited budgets, architects and designers created sprawling, elegant backdrops for the ultimate expression of the American Dream. In his book, Price explores the architectural backgrounds, details, and floor plans of the amazing homes, giving readers an inside view of the world-famous Beverly Hills style. Lavish new photography is interspersed with archival and historic images, illustrating the glamour of the Trousdale Estates, both then and now. Some of the architects include Frank Lloyd Wright, Wallace Neff, Paul R. Williams, Harold Levitt, and A. Quincy Jones.
