Roland Coate: Battson house (Lake Arrowhead, Calif.)
Description
Oil company executive Leigh Battson was married to Lucy Doheny and living at the Greystone Mansion in Beverly Hills when they commissioned Coate to design a vacation home on Lake Arrowhead. The estate featured steeply sloping roofs which prevented snow from accumulating, and allowed for easier snow removal. Multiple buildings were constructed, including a main house, boat house with dock, entrance gate with guard house, and servants quarters.
