Adriano Pedrosa Will Curate the 2024 Venice Biennale, Making Him the First Latin American to Lead the Show
Within Hancock Park is 55 Fremont Place, a gated community of some 70 homes, many of which feature unique and aesthetic-rich histories. Early 20th Century titans of industry have called Fremont Place home, including A.P. Giannini, who founded the Bank of America as well as Gillette-founder King C. Gillette. Fremont Place was also the home of boxing legend Muhammad Ali,Ali purchased the home—a seven-bedroom/seven-bathroom 14,500-square foot Italian Renaissance mansion—in 1979.
The Ali mansion is nothing if not spectacular. Its mastermind is none other than renowned Los Angeles architect John C. Austin, who’s also responsible for key city landmarks including the Griffith Observatory and Los Angeles City Hall. Beyond its European-styled facade, the property features a seemingly endless array of unique and distinctive elements across its three floors.
The property is separated into distinct public and private areas. With its grand entry foyer, sprawling salon and circular-shaped conservatory—along with living room and dining room—the lower level was clearly made for entertaining. And the home has certainly welcomed a serious who’s-who of luminaries, including former President Barack Obama, who had been a guest at the home under its most recent owners, lawyer Michael Lawson and Mattie McFadden-Lawson.
The home, says Gold, is “rock solid” and has “barely budged” in the more than century since it was first built. If 55 Fremont Place is traded at asking, it will mark one of the highest-priced sales for Hancock Park, which has become increasingly popular with Hollywood elite such as Shonda Rhimes, who’s owned a series of homes there–including a 12,000-foot stunner
