“Gerard Colcord, and the LA Architectural Legacy He Left Behind” presented by Bret Parsons
From 1924 through 1984, architect Gerard Colcord created a significant architectural legacy upon the Southern California residential landscape. He worked in a variety of styles ranging from classic Tudor, Country French, Hollywood Regency, Spanish Hacienda, and Monterey Colonial, to his best-known genre, sprawling Country Colonials. Notable clients and residents include: Alan Ladd, Henry Fonda, Bob Newhart, Tom Jones, Dean Martin, Norton Simon, Kirk Douglas, Harrison Ford, Shirley Jones, Nicolas Cage, Richard Chamberlain and Tony Curtis. In 2006, realtor Bret Parsons gained access to Mr. Colcord’s complete archives and created a lavishly illustrated book from thousands of original renderings, photographs, blueprints, plus interviews with over 300 past and present Colcord homeowners.
