Greystone Mansion & Gardens: The Doheny Estate
Tudor Revival mansion and formal gardens on a hilltop estate, site of a scandal-shrouded nineteen twenty-nine murder mystery.
Greystone Mansion's guide returns to February 16, 1929, when Ned Doheny, heir to his father's oil fortune, and his friend and secretary Hugh Plunkett were found shot dead in a guest bedroom of this fifty-five-room house. It follows an investigator who questioned the official verdict of murder-suicide, from a smoldering cigarette left mid-drag to a warm gun found beneath a body that should have gone cold, and the black satchel of bribe money both men had carried to Washington months before, at the heart of the Teapot Dome scandal. What actually happened behind that dark window has never been settled.
