But there was a cloud hanging over the summit amid the gilt-edged grandeur of the former royal townhouse in central London.

Located in a townhouse in Roma Norte, the unassuming exterior hides the incredible restaurant within.

Barbara Chung was so inspired by California native plants that she created a vibrant habitat garden with some 200 mostly native plants on her tiny townhouse patio in Santa Monica despite warnings that they wouldn’t survive.

“I used to say all the time, ‘Boy, I know one thing that will never happen is our place will burn down,’” said Peggy Holter, who in 1978 purchased a townhouse in Palisades Highlands, just a stone’s throw from the reservoir.

Holter’s townhouse and others in the complex survived the first night of the fire but later burned down after water pressure in the area diminished.
