The grounds also hold a guest house, a pool house with an Olympic-sized pool, and a tennis court, all behind a walled perimeter with ornate iron gates. It was designed by architects Russell and Alpaugh, commissioned in 1922 and dated to 1926. The home belonged to Charles Edward Toberman, who arrived in Hollywood from Texas in 1907 and became one of its leading developers. His projects included Grauman's Egyptian and Chinese theatres, the El Capitan Theater, the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel and the Outpost Estates subdivision. The residence hosted weddings, civic group picnics and social gatherings for business and entertainment figures. Its exterior and landscaping remain largely unaltered, and it is regarded as a visible symbol of Toberman's success and of Hollywood's Golden Era.","period_of_significance":"1900- (specific date 1926)","architect_builder":"Russell & Alpaugh","architectural_style":"Mediterranean/Spanish Colonial Revival","criteria":[],"status_note":"Occupied as a private residence; in good condition with little exterior alteration, and missing lighting and other features are being recreated or restored by the current owner.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:54:28.203876-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_CA/83001205.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/83001205/abcd1843da-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/83001205/abcd1843da-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 3.0","author":"Los Angeles","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Charles_Toberman_Estate,_Hollywood.JPG\" rel=\"noopener\">Los Angeles</a>, <a href=\"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0\" rel=\"license noopener\">CC BY-SA 3.0</a>, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Charles_Toberman_Estate,_Hollywood.JPG"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/123859578","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C.E._Toberman_Estate","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q5006093"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/california/los-angeles-county/toberman-c-e-estate-83001205/"}
