In the July 10 issue of the Post, an article in the Real Estate section depicted homes in Pacific Palisades that were named as ‘historic resources’ by SurveyLA: The Los Angeles Historic Resources Survey Project.

One of the homes included in the listing was a gem located at 446 N. Mesa Road. The description read as follows:
Edward Weston Residence, 446 N. Mesa Rd., a 1923 Spanish Colonial Revival residence that was the home and portrait studio of noted photographer Edward Weston from 1934-1937; some of Weston’s most famous works were completed at the home.

The listing and accompanying photo took one Palisadian by surprise – Bill Minderhout, the former owner of the home.
Minderhout contacted the Post and sent in his original sale document as well as an inventory of furnishings included in the sale, saying he purchased the home for $13,000 in 1954. The home has since undergone expansion.
Here are the documents and photos of the home then and now.
