Marion Davies' Homes

Ocean House

Called "Ocean House" or simply "The Beach House," this was a 34 bedroom Georgian mansion on the Pacific Coast Highway in Santa Monica.  Marion sold it in the late 1940's and it was razed (all but the pool, servants quarters and tennis courts) in the late 1950's.  The site was used for a while as a hotel and country club, but the house didn't have enough bedrooms to make a go as a hotel so it was demolished.

Beverly Hills House 1

I label Marion's Beverly Hills homes as 1 and 2.   This one is located at 1700 Lexington in Beverly Hills.  It had once been occupied by Columbia Pictures Head Harry Cohn.  The house was the first home Marion occupied when she moved to Hollywood.  The top photo above is a color lithograph from the early 30's.  The photo above this text was taken by yours truly in March of 2000.
