During this time he built the real estate development company into a publicly-held powerhouse. As
Executive Vice President of Development, he supervised the early construction and design of Valencia

Chairman of the Board in 1979. His long tenure at the company paralleled its immense growth,
originally founded in 1883 by the five sons of Henry Mayo Newhall to farm the 220 square miles he
bequeathed to them. For decades the company ranked among the state's ten largest land holders.
Dickason headed the California Chamber of Commerce. He was a trustee at his alma mater, Stanford
University, for ten years; national chair for major fundraising during the university's centennial
campaign; and on the advisory council of its Graduate School of Business. He also supervised
Stanford's Hoover Institution. As a benefactor, Dickason endowed a professorship in the Humanities.
Stanford rewarded him was a Golden Spike and centennial medallion for his fundraising efforts, as
well as the Ernest C. Arbuckle Award from the Graduate School of Business for professional
leadership and public service. In the Los Angeles area, Dickason headed the United Way of Los
Angeles County and was active in the California Museum of Science and Industry, the Los Angeles
County Music Center, and the Southwest Museum. He was a board member and vice president of the
Automobile Club of Southern California, and served on the boards of several corporations, including

Dwan began his movie career in New York and started working part-time in Hollywood in 1911. He
operated "Flying A Studios" in La Mesa, California, from August 1911 to July 1912, making it one of
the earliest motion picture studios in California. In 1917, while still in New York, he was the founding
president of the East Coast chapter of the Motion Picture Directors Association. After making a series
of westerns and comedies, Dwan directed fellow-Canadian Mary Pickford, as well as her husband
Douglas Fairbanks, in several successful movies, including "Robin Hood" in 1922. Following the
introduction of the talkies, he directed child star Shirley Temple in several films, including "Heidi" and
"Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm." Over his 50-year career, Dwan directed over 400 films, many of them
highly-acclaimed.

Reason: Significant as part of the Janss-Letts residential family compound. "Owlwood," early Holmby Hills
estate and long-time residence of Florence Letts Quinn, wife of Broadway department store founder
Arthur Letts. After divorcing Letts, Florence lived here with her second husband, businessman Charles
H. Quinn. They lived here until her death in 1944, after which Charles Quinn sold the estate. This
property was part of a "family compound" comprised of five Janss and Letts family residences which
surrounded the northwest corner of the Los Angeles Country Club property and overlooked the golf
course. The Janss and Letts families were early residents of Holmby Hills and Westwood, and they all
constructed showcase residences which highlighted the architectural character and prestige of the
neighborhood to attract potential residents. This property is one of only three extant residences of
the original collection of five Janss/Letts family homes. The other properties are the Emma Janss
Residence (10224 Charing Cross) and the Arthur Letts Jr. Residence (10236 Charing Cross).
Subsequent owners of this property purchased each of the adjacent parcels fronting Sunset Bl. (the
property at 10060 Sunset Bl. was the Edwin Janss Estate; the property at 10100 Sunset Bl. was Jayne
Mansfield's famed "Pink Palace.") to expand the estate. The three properties were offered for sale
together for the first time in 2000. The residences at 10060 and 10100 have since been demolished.
Other notable residents of "Owlwood" include producer Joseph Schenck, Superior Oil Company
founder William Keck, actress Marilyn Monroe, actors Tony Curtis and Janet Leigh, and entertainers
Sonny & Cher. The property is not visible from the public right-of-way; therefore, the evaluation could

Reason: Excellent example of early commercial development in Westwood Village; associated with the original
development of Westwood by the Janss Corporation. This is an original Westwood Village building.
Originally, the upper stories served as the first women's dormitory for UCLA students, called "Holmby
Hall." The building's exterior was modernized in the 1950s and original features were removed; the
building was rehabilitated in the 1980s. Later, a fire damaged the upper stories and the original clock
tower; the clock tower was reconstructed in 2003. Due to alterations - including some windows, some
storefronts, and reconstruction of the clock tower - the property does not retain sufficient integrity to
be eligible for listing in the National Register.
