Windsor Square-Hancock Park Historical Society house tour spotlights a 1908 survivor brought back from the brink. Sat, 04 Oct 2008 00:00:00 -0700 Architectural photographer Mary E. Nichols and Keith Wood saw good bones beneath the Wilton Place property's shabby facade.

Only in Malibu: the $2-million mobile home Sat, 04 Oct 2008 00:00:00 -0700 Bluff-side Paradise Cove and Point Dume Club take manufactured-home living to new heights.
If you want to live among gas-guzzling, tax-evading, hippie-gypsies running from the law, then Malibu's mobile-home parks are not the places to look (as the Who might otherwise suggest in its hit song "Going Mobile").
