March 5, 1911: The Times features the new home of Los Angeles capitalist Isaac Milbank at 236 Adelaide Drive, Santa Monica. According to the clips, Milbank, a former executive of the New York Condensed Milk Co. (later Borden) and Union Oil, only lived here a few years before building an even bigger home at 3340 Country Club Drive, where he was living at the time of his death in 1922 at the age of 58.

    I wonder, what ever happened to the chimney?

    @Steve: I’ve looked at quite a few 100-year-old homes in Los Angeles and virtually all of them have lost their brick chimneys in an earthquake.
