Photograph of an exterior view of the E. L. Doheny residence on Chester Place in Los Angeles, [s.d.]. The large home is at center and resembles a Gothic cathedral. A large cylindrical tower with a conical roof is at right, while two elaborate dormers and a brick chimney protrude from the steeply sloped roof at left. Several rectangular windows are visible, as well as two balconies. Vines can be seen growing up the side of the building. The foreground is occupied by a large expanse of neatly trimmed grass.
