The Getty Center's inaugural renovation will blend necessary structural and cosmetic updates, revitalizing galleries to 'bring art in dialogue with nature' and introducing 'exciting new artist commissions.'

A fire damaged one of Oakland's most beloved historic landmarks, raising concerns about the preservation of the city's cultural heritage and the impact on the community.

"Getty is embarking on an exciting new chapter. In the coming years, guided by our commitment to All for Art, we will enhance the visitor experience across the Getty Center campus through reimagined spaces and new offerings, while prioritising sustainability."

Disney secretly owns nearly all the homes on the east side of Keystone Street, creating a living picture of single-family paradise in sunny Los Angeles. The long run of houses, driveways and front lawns looks that way because the Walt Disney Company demands it.

"Obviously I saw the posters - after all, the point was to harass and intimidate me. The claims in the poster are complete lies pushed by a few bars that think they're allowed to disrespect their neighbors by prioritizing their own profit over respecting their community."

He would buy up land on Wilshire Boulevard between La Brea and Fairfax avenues and build the retail hub of the future, one centered around the automobile. Though critics scoffed, he believed he could draw customers from Beverly Hills and Hollywood to what was then the unfashionable hinterland of the city simply by combining luxury department store shopping with plenty of free parking.

Maloof hand-carved a three-story spiral oak staircase. Other artists created stained-glass windows, copper doors and designer lighting. But the person who has been most involved in the house is Herb Hafif, the attorney, sculptor and art collector who personally split rocks for the stone walls and who has owned the property, through his philanthropic family foundation, since 1953.

As the weights touch, they get a bit musical and there's a kind of harmonic ring in your wall. It's like the house is alive. But with soulful age come other sounds: rattles, wind whistling through gaps and a homeowner's curses because the blasted contraptions won't open and close properly.

This is monumental for the city.

Indian Hills Ridge is a development of CoastFed Properties, formerly the Mayer Group. Construction has begun on four models at Indian Hills Ridge, a 66-acre project east of Yosemite Avenue and north of Flannagan Drive in northeast Simi Valley.

Built in the 1940s and designed by architect Paul Williams, their new home has about six bedrooms in 7,500 square feet and is on slightly more than two acres on one of the most desirable streets in the area.

With their red-tile roofs and stucco walls so commonplace that they've become part of the landscape, the homes of the Spanish Colonial Revival tapped the climate, local materials and an idealized view of history to become the signature style of Southern California.

Architects including Wallace Neff and Lloyd Wright built in a variety of styles while preserving the essential character of the neighborhood - an upscale charm that survives to this day. Every popular style of the 1920s can be found in Hancock Park, which makes it one of those magical L.A. places where movies that are set around the world can be filmed, all without leaving the 30-mile zone.

Updated for modern living, this remodeled home in Highland Park has stayed true to its 1930s Spanish Revival beginnings. The open living and dining room features a brick fireplace and the original hardwood floors. A courtyard sits off the master bedroom.

This Craftsman home, set on a roomy three-quarter-acre lot, has the rolled roof edges, deep overhangs and protruding rafter tails characteristic of the style developed by brothers Charles and Henry Greene. Originally built for Packard dealer Earle C. Anthony, the shingle-clad house was moved from Los Angeles to Beverly Hills in the early 1920s by silent-film star Norman Kerry.

Designed by noted residential architect Roland E. Coate, the home was built in 1926 for Annie Wilson, daughter of pioneering Southern California businessman and politician Benjamin Wilson, for whom Mt. Wilson is named. The gently sloping 1-acre-plus property was once part of the vast holdings of George S. Patton, father of the famed U.S. general.

In 2021, during the peak of the pandemic housing market that saw L.A. home prices skyrocket, The Times compiled a list of the newest neighborhoods to join the proverbial "million-dollar club," where the typical single-family home value is above $1 million. Five years later, plenty more have made the cut. Whereas the previous group featured trendy L.A. neighborhoods (Echo Park, Highland Park), South L.A. enclaves (Crenshaw, Leimert Park) and slices of the San Fernando Valley (Porter Ranch, Woodland Hills),
