WOW! I can't believe that his Mansion (for the most part..) still stands intact.. in California!!! That's practically unheard of!! It must be a pretty special place!!🥳🥳🥳

Harold Lloyd was not just a great comedian. He was a prolific inventor, and investor. He was as smart as they come. He invested heavily in Southern California real estate and the oil lands of the L.A. area. Those oil contracts are still producing revenue to this day. He invented many machines and film processes that are still used in film making to this day. He was a fascinating man.

After Harold's death, when a reporter went through the mansion, he said it was like Sunset Boulevard. His clothes still hung in the closet, and nothing had been updated. Even the kitchen appliances were the originals.

Harold Lloyd was always better than his contemporary comedians. His home is fantastic and I want to thank you for bringing this to us.

Glad to hear that the house survived, and very happy to know that he was a Shriner.😊

Always liked Lloyd. He was 100 years ahead of his time. With a modern suit, he could fit in anywhere as a business tycoon. Very handsome and contemporary looking.

Thanks for posting this wonderful video of Harold Lloyd's mansion.

I think that Harold Lloyd was funnier than Charlie Chaplin. I would highly recommend to anyone who hasn't seen his movies to watch them. Hilarious!

Harold Lloyd was a kindly genius and gentleman whose attributes reflected well on the silver screen. Green Acres was perfectly constructed and cast as a home you’d expect to be his. Magnificent and bright, full of all the amenities that one would expect in his home. The scene with the clock was shot in real life, he was his own stuntman. Thank you, Ken for this video. I have always thought that the two most incredible comedic actors of that period were Harold Lloyd and Buster Keaton. Both did their own stunts. Incredible!

My friends parents moved to Realto in the late 50s from Iowa and moved his Shriner membership to the Los Angeles shrine and was a member when Harold was Potentate.
He was quite the photographer too

Much respect for Harold Lloyd after looking at his estate, amazing! Thanks for the bio and tour!

Greenacres was also owned for a time by Ted Field, heir of Marshall Field, the Chicago department store baron.

What a beautiful house and grounds! I have seen it in many movies and tv shows. Especially that long cascading fountain ! I read that he had a room just for that giant christmas tree that was permanently decorated!

[elephantintheroom]

Wow! That is the most beautiful place you've shown yet! 🤩 He was a great comedian. He always makes me amazed and amused.

I fell in love with this estate when it was featured in 1976’s “Death At Love House”, with Robert Wagner & Kate Jackson. I thought it the most amazing place! The grounds were also used in the 1973 film “Westworld”. So glad the home is still thriving.

How do You think they were able to build this lavish estate in only one year? That is truly larger than life. food for thought
Thank You and much Love

The fact that his mansion is still around HAS to be some sort of miracle ! I mean, if they're destroying Betty White's beloved home, they'd destroy anyone's!

I was at the Mansion in the late 70's or early 80's delivering plumbing supplies to a contractor, the place had been bought and was going through a massive renovation, I had been to other mansions before but I could not believe how big it was, got a pretty good tour of the place 😮, it was awesome! 😎❤

[LaurenceDay-dp]

So glad this splendid home has been preserved, even though the beautiful gardens have been destroyed, alas. This was sold in 1975 for only $1, 600, 000!!!

You didn't mention that Harold Lloyd was an early adopter of high-fidelity sound equipment. Lloyd was said to play music at such volumes gold leaf would flake from the ceiling and fall like snow.
