Location! Location! Fremont Place is the best kept secret in Los Angeles. Hidden behind stately columns along Wilshire Boulevard lies Fremont Place, an historic enclave in the Hancock Park district known for its exclusivity and enduring tranquility. Developed in the early 1900s during Los Angeles' rapid expansion and the rise of the Hollywood film industry, Fremont Place quickly became a magnet for grandeur and architectural experimentation. In those early cinematic days, set designers emerged as unexpected tastemakers, borrowing from global styles to craft dreamlike aesthetics for the silver screen. Real estate developers took notice, and few translated that vision more deftly than architects Meyer and Holler, the creative minds behind Grauman's Chinese and Egyptian Theaters. Among their lesser-known, but no less impressive, projects was a Mediterranean-style villa commissioned by Ocean Park developer and hotelier George Hart as his personal residence. The Hart-Jacobs Residence originally built in 1923 , with masterful expansions and additions extending into the 21st century. Set within an exclusive 24/7 guard-gated community, 107 Fremont Place is a masterpiece that is elegant and timeless! Reminiscent of the gilded age, this breathtaking Italian Villa has been brought up to the 21st century with every bell and whistle! Per the LA Times ad in 1911, "The Most Exclusive and highest-class residence community in the most desirable residential city in America - Fremont Place." The who's who of Los Angeles from our first Mayor, famous writers, actors to Mohammad Ali lived in Fremont Place and enjoyed the safety and exclusivity of living within these gates. Drawing inspiration from the Uffizi Palace in Florence, the house was celebrated in the Los Angeles Times shortly after its construction for its craftsmanship and architectural detail. Though the Italian Renaissance Revival style is often said to have waned after the 1930s, the Hart Estate remains a grand exception. The Hart-Jacobs Estate stands today not just as a home, but as a living testament to the enduring beauty of architectural revival.
