"At this time the original Earle C. Anthony house (1909) was set for demolition to allow for the construction of a multi-story
apartment building when it was rescued by the distinguished actor of the silent screen, Norman Kerry. He and his wife had
the house moved in three sections to Beverly Hills and engaged Henry Greene to handle the resiting and rejoining of the structure
and to design the grounds and gardens." -- from Greene & Greene, architecture as a fine art, by Randell L. Makinson, Salt
Lake City, 1977, p. 242.
