Palos Verdes?
A section of 1,000 acres was originally set aside by the planners of the Palos Verdes
Project for a University campus. In 1925, a proposal was made for the relocation
of the southern branch of the University of California (which later was renamed
UCLA), which was then located on Vermont Ave. in Los Angeles (built in 1914
and home to Los Angeles City College since 1929). The proposed site was in the
center of the Palos Verdes Peninsula where Peninsula High School, the Peninsula
Shopping Center, and the Avenue of the Peninsula Shopping Center is located.
The proposal included other inducements including $1,000,000, the construction
of a model grammar school and a model high school to be run by the University’s
Department of Education, a marine biological station and public aquarium, an art
museum, a theatre seating 1,500, a boathouse at Portuguese Bend and a football
stadium to seat 90,000. After considering 17 other sites, UCLA held classes on their
new Westwood campus in 1929.

In 1963, Great Lakes Property, Inc., had planned to sell 107 acres of land near the
SOCIAL MEDIA intersection of Hawthorne Boulevard and Crest road at the top of the Palos Verdes
Peninsula as a site for what was originally named South Bay State College and then
renamed California State College at Palos Verdes (CSCPV). The State of California had
Twitter@SouthBayDigs
allocated funds to acquire this land and had actually begun classes for 27 freshmen
and 14 juniors in a bank building in the Peninsula Center area in September 1965.
www.facebook.com/SouthBayDigs

After extensive planning and review, acquisition of the site was abandoned for
www.youtube.com/SouthBayDigs
consideration in 1965 due to rising land values and the beginning of eminent
domain. Three other sites on the Palos Verdes Peninsula were then considered,

included Fort MacArthur in San Pedro and Dominquez Hills.

issues raised by civil rights leaders was the lack of access to colleges in the area. In
response, the California legislature decided not to approve the Palos Verdes sites and

 Behind the Gates

Rolling Hills
in

this is the View from the Jenkins Family guest house

which included a barn, stable looking Northwest
towards the area where Peninsula High School is
now located. The Jenkins purchased their home on
Saddleback Road for $25,000 in 1941 and included
a barn, stable and guesthouse on 5 acres. Jenkins
daughter, Rachel Jenkin’s Sulmeyer, (whose current
house is for sale and is the Front Cover Home in this
issue) reflects on the early years of growing up
in Rolling Hills: “During the early years, there was
approximately 60 families living here. The roads were
dirt, and the area was very rural. The only mode of
transportation was by horse or foot and I remember
riding to nursery school on horseback. We farmed,
had cattle and chickens and lived a ranch lifestyle.”

The Beginning…
It all began when Beverly Hills landscape architect A.E. Hanson was tapped by
landowner Frank A. Vanderlip Sr. to develop a community on part of the 1,000
acres of Palos Verdes Peninsula land that Vanderlip had acquired in 1913. In 1932,
Hanson began to sell the idea of developing the city’s large lots into single-family
vacation dude ranches, which eventually evolved into a development of one-story
luxury homes with a minimum lot size of one acre, allowing plenty of room to keep
and ride horses.

24  SouthBayDigs.com | 01.17.2011

 This photo was taken in the Spring of 1933 and shows the first day of
work starting on Palos Verdes Drive North. The first Rolling Hills
gatehouse was located immediately to the right of the two automobiles.

To raise cash for development,

Hanson sent out 10,000 postcards
in 1940 advertising land in Rolling
Hills…”3000 acres for a Song.” Each
Parcel was 25 acres in size, offered
at $185 per acre, one-third cash, the
balance terms to suit. According
to Hanson, not one sale was made!
The Los Verdes Golf Course is now
in the middle of the “3000 acres for
a Song.”
