| At Home With Dot |
| According to the 1930 United States Federal Census, Dorothy lived in a home at 294 South Carmelina Drive in Los Angeles. She lived here with her chauffeur named Harry (29) and cook named Maude (25), Harry and Maude were married in 1925. The house, a classic Spanish Revival bungalow, and garage were built in the Brentwood Club Estates in 1926 at a cost of $5,500. Supposedly, the house was a gift from her then love interest cowboy actor Tom Mix. In 1987 this house was ready for demolition but the owners realized its historic value and donated it to California State University, Dominguez Hills for use as a dean's home, but those plans never materialized. So the house was moved to Sunland and put in storage. In 1991 it was bought, moved to Pasadena and is now a beautiful and well manicured private residence. Special thanks to Helena Mountford for sharing a great article about this house. |
| Dorothy's South Carmelina house as it looks today in Pasadena CA. Awfully nice, no? The house was put in Dorothy's name sometime after her December 1930 marriage to William Boyd. She sold it in October of 1933, no doubt a bad time financially for Dorothy and Boyd. |
