MANOR & PAVILION
Built in 1929 by Walter Strong as a family estate to share with his wife, Blythe. Expense was no object as the owners curated the best of 1920 period features and employed expert architects to create a mansion in the popular Spanish Colonial Revival style. Highpoints of this attention to detail include hand-stamped tiles, timeless décor, ornate fireplaces, a grand staircase, and a stunning balcony for you to view the gardens. The Manor House boasts a glorious grand ballroom with chandeliers and oversized windows, a private patio area, and two dressing suites.
The gorgeous pavilion boasts a cathedral ceiling adorned with iron chandeliers and double French doors to bring the outside in. The adjoining courtyard features a cozy fireplace, high-end furnishings and Spanish revival architecture.
LAWN & GARDENS
The focal point of these gardens is the giant mesquite tree that draws attention to the ceremony area. Towering date palms provide ample shade for the ceremony lawn with an Old-World iron cupola and carved stone altar. Your guests will be wowed by the embellished stone staircase where you'll make your grand entrance.
