Pritzker Estate
Located in the exclusive Beverly Crest neighborhood, the gargantuan home has been dubbed the "Grand Hyatt Bel Air" by disapproving neighbors, in reference to its extraordinary size.The uniquely circular-shaped residence enclosed an inner courtyard with a swimming pool traversed by a footbridge, a home with an elliptical-themed motif including matching elliptical furniture.The structure was perched atop a promontory measuring roughly 10,000 square feet (930 m2) with sweeping views of Los Angeles and fronted by a single-space carport.[3][7] Prior to the movie's release but unrelated in nature, the residence was featured in Architectural Digest magazine during the spring of 1966 (Volume 22, Issue 4, pages 102–105), captured by famed photographer Julius Shulman.[11] Later that year the Pritzker family acquired the home at 1261 Angelo Drive and the house was quickly demolished, despite efforts by the Los Angeles Conservancy to prevent its destruction.
