The Hollywood Hills Central neighborhood is also home to Wattles Mansion & Gardens;

The house of Spanish architecture was designed by Myron Hunt and Elmer Grey, two prominent Los Angeles architects. They also designed the gardens. Mr. Wattles' father met the head gardener, Alexander Urquhart on his travels. Urquhart worked as head gardener from 1910 until 1930. The concept for the garden was formulated during trips to Mexico and Japan. During a trip to Japan, his father purchased a tea house, shrines and lanterns and had them shipped back to use in the gardens. Four gardens had been developed: the first corresponding to the architecture of the house, the second, Italian, the third, American, and the fourth, Japanese.

To take advantage of the site, the house was positioned on a knoll, surrounded by gardens winding up into the hills. From the beginning, Mr. Wattles opened the gardens to the public and it soon became a popular Sunday afternoon tourist attraction. Approximately fifty acres occupies a long narrow corridor of space that rises 950 feet from Hollywood Blvd. to the top of the hill. As the tourists strolled through the garden, the beautiful panoramic view of the city unfolded before them to the south.

The Wattles residence was opened in the spring of 1909. Designed in a Mediterranean/Mission style, the home is two stories and has a full basement. The first floor rooms include a paneled library, formal dining room., large living room with a picture window to the south gardens, two large bathrooms off the entrance hall, servant's dining hall and kitchen and pantry.
