Home of the Week: Spanish gem in Beverly Hills reflects its 1920s roots

Colorful tile risers, arched doorways and plaster walls underscore the early Spanish roots of this Roy Seldon Price design in Beverly Hills.

Built in 1926, the walled and gated estate has been restored and updated while retaining many of its original design features and period details. A meditation room, which sits among gardens across from the main house, offers space for reflecting on a bygone age.
