What gets photographedPage One, the Camera and the Reader in Beverly Hills
Trousdale Estates brought mid-century modern hillside homes in the 1950s and 1960s, while nearly 4 in 10 homes elsewhere in town predate 1950. Numbered sections keep several fireplaces and their very different ages straight, so a house manager can follow each one. The 1994 Northridge quake damaged chimneys here, so older repairs may be hiding in plain sight. Morning marine layer and winter rain keep masonry damp, and no-burn alerts from November through February make the listed fuel worth recording.
