History

The mansion is a 22,000-square-foot (2,000 m2) Mediterranean Revival architectural style mansion on 4.5 acres of view property. It was designed by architect Robert D. Farquhar and built in 1923. When it was the opulent residence of silent film star Antonio Moreno and his wife and oil heiress, Daisy Canfield Moreno, daughter of pioneer oilman Charles A. Canfield, it was the scene for lavish Sunday afternoon parties for members of high society and silent screen notables.[2]

On February 23, 1933, Daisy Canfield died of injuries she sustained in a car accident; her chauffeur-driven car plunged off Mulholland Drive while en route home from a party. Since then, the 22-room estate has seen many incarnations, including the Chloe P. Canfield School for Girls. In 1950, it became a convent for Franciscan nuns. In the 1970s the Franciscan nuns ran a home for girls at the estate.

In 1998, the property was sold to Dana Hollister, who named it The Paramour Estate.

gollark: Is the system to just merge the virtual channels? This would be problematic to unmerge later.
gollark: But then I realized that this had a significant problem; what happens if virtual channels A and B both connect to Discord channel 124091724?
gollark: So I was thinking of an AutoBotRobot "virtual channel" publish/subscribe bridge where Discord channels could link up to a virtual channel, and IRC could also link to that via some glue code, and all would be cool and good™, and ApioTelephone could just create virtual channels temporarily.
gollark: I want to unify these in a nice elegant™ way.
gollark: So, I run something like two different bridgey things on my server now - APIONET to various Discord channels (this was bodged into inter-discord-channel links also) and ABR's apiotelephone thing.
