Linda Scott Residence

The Linda Scott Residence is HCM 963 and was built in the Moorish-Spanish-Italian style. The residence was designed by Frank Tyler in 1906. Here is a photograph of it and text about it from Homes and Gardens of the Pacific Coast.

Here is the home as it appeared at the time of purchase, in 2009.

Mrs Scott was a character and a successful Realtor. Before she divorced her Arizona sheriff/rancher/husband she was deputized to transport prisoners to the state facility by stage coach--which was held up en route by a non-suspecting stage coach robber who got quite a surprise when she pulled a gun, arrested him, and added him to her cargo! She entertained often at her residence and sold a great deal of real estate. There is a slightly blurry photo of her from the Los Angeles Times.
