Virginia Robinson Gardens

MonumentLocal favourite

The 1911 estate of department-store owners Virginia and Harry Robinson, one of the first homes in Beverly Hills, with six acres of period gardens and a mansion, now run by LA County. Only small docent-led groups get in, so it stays a secret in a quiet residential street.
