The “stone tower” was built by the Palos Verdes Homes Association in 1926 from the plans of the architect Clarence E. Howard submitted in Nov. 1925. Intended for a gated entrance located on Parkland, it was deeded to Palos Verdes Estates im 1939 and has been occupied by various tenants to maintain and preserve the tower.

Wow, so nice....
you've captured the light on the stone beautifully. I love stone buildings, especially old ones.
Such a soulful picture Tash. I'll bet this would be a fun place to live. Ever been inside?
I am so glad it's still there it was antique when we would drive past it in the late 50's down the hill to Food Giant shopping center!
That's a great up close & personal pic from your plane!
Magnificent shot...in spite of the blue sky, the place looks a bit spooky!
I just love your website. I'm adding you to my blogroll.
Very nice tower , beautiful stones !
Really a strange building, impressive stones.
Great tower. I would love to be one of the tenants.
Great angle! It looks like a tower from a fairy tale with princess inside:)
It is not easy to build a tower with stones.
I love the light.
They told me at the art jury that a man lives there now, with no power. I don't know if they were serious or joking, but it is an interesting thought.
