616 Nimes Rd, Los Angeles, California
11 Beds 17 Baths 23,988 Sqft Sold for: $46,250,000
Once Owned by Renowned American Singer-songwriter Kenny Rogers, the 24,000 Square Feet Classical Italian Revival Style Home Was Originally Designed by World Renowned and Celebrated Architect Paul Williams. The Estate Gets Its Name From the Two Lion Statues Installed at the Gate by Rogers.
Set on Nearly Two Acres of Completely Private Land in Prime Lower Bel-air, This Estate Has Been Re-imagined and Generously Expanded From the Ground Up With No Expense Spared and Completely Maintains the True Integrity of the Original Architect.
Boasting of Two Formal Entries, the Estate Spreads Out to Include 11 Bedrooms, 17 Bathrooms, Formal Living and 2 Additional Informal Living Areas, Study, Billiards Room, 12-seat Movie Theater and Climate Controlled Wine Room.
The Original House That Stood on the Liongate Property Was Designed by Influential and Theatrically Named Architect Paul Revere Williams, Built in the Late 1930s and First Owned, Per Miz Trudeau’s Press Release, by Composer and Musician Jack Lawrence.
Country Music Heavyweight Kenny Rogers, Who Acquired the Estate in 1979, Renovated and Expanded the Residence With the Guidance of Cher’s Decorator Ron Wilson, Added the Carved Stone Lions That Stand on Either Side of the Driveway Gates and Dubbed the Place Liongate.
Rogers Sold Liongate It in 1983 for $5.8 Million to Businessman Ken Rickel and Nicole Richie’s Godmother Nancy Davis, the Philanthropic Daughter of Famously Rotund Oil Magnate Turned Entertainment Industry Power Player Marvin Davis.
The Italian Renaissance Revival Style Architecture:
The Italian Renaissance Revival Style Developed at the Very End of the Victorian Period of Architecture.
Like the Romanesque Styles and Other Later Classically-inspired Styles, the Italian Renaissance Revival Style Looked to Italy and the Ancient World for Inspiration.
This Style Developed in Direct Contrast to the Medieval Form and Appearance of Other Popular Styles of the Time, the Gothic Revival, Queen Anne, and Shingle Styles.
This Style and the Earlier Italianate Style Both Were Modeled on the 16th Century Buildings of the Italian Renaissance.
However, Italian Renaissance Revival Style Buildings Are Much Closer Stylistically to the Original Form Than the Italianate Style. This Added Authenticity Was Due to Greater Familiarity With the Original Buildings – via Photographs Versus Pattern Books – and Advances in Masonry Veneering Techniques That Developed in the Early 20th Century.
