One family that has been rooted in show business for generations is the Barrymore clan. Fittingly, John Barrymore, Drew's grandfather, would have a piece of Hancock Park history. An original movie star, it only makes sense that he'd own a house found in the original upscale neighborhood of Los Angeles.
Today, Hancock Park is nestled within the hustle and bustle of a largely expaneded city but still maintains the same charm that drew buyers nearly a century ago. To learn more about Hancock Park, check out my Ashley Olsen, Sean Hayes, and Shonda Rhimes posts.
The John Barrymore Home
Features - built in 1918, 6,300 sq. ft., hand-carved mahogany paneling, and stained-glass windows.
Barrymore divorced soon after purchasing the home and never moved in.

The exterior of this one might be my favorite so far, but the inside is a bit dark for my taste...

Ooooh that pool is lovely! It's such a gorgeous house and it's a shame he never moved in!
It was a gorgeous house in its original state. Spent a lot of time there as a child when owned by Odel Mc'Connell. It's beautiful now but I liked it when it was all original with all the antique furniture and artwork
