Local News in Brief : Architect Models on View
Rancho Palos Verdes is displaying models of two Italian Renaissance-style developments that were planned for the Palos Verdes Peninsula by pioneer landowner Frank Vanderlip Sr. but were never built.
Villa Nari, intended as an artisan’s village, is on view at the Point Vicente Interpretive Center, 31501 Palos Verdes Drive West, which is open daily from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Villa Palos Verdes, planned as a residence patterned after a 16th-Century villa of Pope Julius III, is at Hesse Park, 29301 Hawthorne Blvd.
The park is open daily from 10 a.m. to dusk.
The large painted plaster models were built in France in 1925. They were donated to the Rancho de los Palos Verdes Historical Society by the Vanderlip family.
