Comments by "John Vonundzu" (@johnvonundzu2170) on "What Happened to Otto Kahn's Cedar Court?" video.

  1. An interesting place. I'm wondering who picked the design, Otto or his father-in-law. Otto didn't marry Miss Wolff until the place was being built. The twin double tower idea is more than a little strange, and the exterior is more "Mediterranean blend" than Italian, French or Spanish. The interior shots all seem to be c. 1915. {(My guess from the light Elsie de Wolfe Influence - though she would have never put up all that wallpaper.) My guess is that the original interiors would have been total dark and heavy Renaissance style (and no flowery wallpaper). Many thanks for the as always excellent video - I'd never heard of this house before.
