About the Business
The Katherine Emery Estate, located at 1155 Oak Grove Avenue in San Marino, California, has a rich history and is protected by a Conservancy easement. Originally known as Thornton Gardens, the estate features a stunning Tudor Revival residence designed by renowned architect Myron Hunt in 1920 for Katherine Sinclair Emery, widow of wealthy Southern Californian Frank Whitney Emery. The 11,700-square-foot house boasts stucco walls, leaded-glass windows, brick chimneys, and ornate details throughout. The interior showcases oak paneling, intricate woodwork, and decorative plasterwork, reflecting traditional English design. The estate's landscape, designed by landscape architects Florence Yoch, Lucile Council, and Katherine Bashford, includes expansive lawns, a motor court, a terrace, and a reflecting pool with a rose garden. The property was once owned by Colonel J.G. Boswell and Ruth Chandler Williamson, daughter of Los Angeles Times publisher Harry Chandler. The current owner has restored the estate and preserved its historic features through a Conservancy easement. In 2018, the National Trust for Historic Preservation acquired Thornton Gardens, with plans for future co-stewardship with The Huntington. Please respect the privacy of the current owners and refrain from disturbing the property or its occupants.
