The Paul de Longpré Residence was a 3 acres (1.2 ha) estate located on the northwest corner of Prospect Avenue and Cahuenga Boulevard in what is now Hollywood, California.
It is considered Hollywood's first tourist attraction, with the owner stating "the community is new, but time will change this artworld and center it here.
[3] The estate, which featured an elaborate two-story Mission Revival/Moorish mansion, de Longpré's personal art collection, and flower gardens that at their peak contained more than 4000 roses in 800 varieties, drew not only Hollywood society, but property buyers and tourists as well.
So many visitors came (8000 per month at the estate's height in popularity) that the Pacific Electric Railway added a trolley spur on Ivar Avenue to deposit riders closer to it, and Los Angeles Pacific Railway included it on their Balloon Route as well.
[4] Mary Pickford's Love Among the Roses was filmed in the de Longpré residence gardens.
