Rarely do events of history so conspire to create a private place, privately owned, with a record that traces the life and times of a public place known and revered by countless thousands. Such a place is Villa Rockledge of Laguna Beach, California. The dream of a far-sighted builder, Frank Miller, and a gifted architect, Arthur Benton,Villa Rockledge is the sea-side cousin of that world-famous edifice - The Mission Inn of Riverside, California. It was the same team of builder and artist responsible for the Mission Inn who conceived the magnificent private estate by the sea that was started in 1918 and completed in 1922 as a tribute to Miller's second wife, Marion. It was known then as "Mariona." Today, known as Villa Rockledge, this fabulous edifice mirrors the history of Laguna Beach. It was there that such Hollywood luminaries as Clifton Webb, Robert Mitchum, Errol Flynn, and Bette Davis cavorted on the Villa Rockledge beach. In 1984, Villa Rockledge was listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
From the book “History of Villa Rockledge” Preface by Thomas S. Jones, President JMR Advertising, Rancho Palos Verdes, January 1987
