March House – Back
Image by Josh Phillipson
In the middle of the Depression my great grandfather got his biggest job, building a home for Hollywood actor, Fredric March. The house was designed by the architect, Wallace Neff.
From an interview with Carl G. Johnson: "That Fredric March house, that was a beautiful house, the biggest house I built, twenty-two rooms and eleven bathrooms. There were seven complete bathrooms and four half baths. Two down by the swimming pool. And it was in the middle of the worst depression. I was lucky to get the job. It helped me a lot. Ja. Movie people are nice people to work for, if you do it right for them. They all said he was a bad man to work for in the studio. I never saw him on the job more than twice. But his wife was there every day and she was a wonderful woman. I got along fine with her."
Later this became the home of Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston. Now it is owned by Madonna.
