The Last Tour of the Anita Baldwin Estate
On DVD
Enjoy a visual walk around
Anoakia.
The historic estate of Anita Baldwin (1876-1939),
Daughter of Elias J. “Lucky” Baldwin - famed Californian real-estate investor, horse breeder and racer.
The Last Tour looks at the stable house where Anita Baldwin trained her race horses, the gymnasium "temple" where her children played, and it explores the concrete mansion where she entertained Hollywood stars and commissioned
Maynard Dixon's 1913 Native American Indian mural.
View the last moving images of the twenty acre property on the corner of Foothill and Baldwin Avenue, once located in "Santa Anita Oaks" a northern section of Rancho Santa Anita, Arcadia California. Enjoy the details captured without narration, of this historic landmark before it was torn down.
In later years, the once formal grounds and buildings housed a series of private schools. The Last Tour with its original soundtrack is a lasting reference of how Anoakia looked in 1999. Edited from low resolution video tapes, this DVD documents the plants, fixtures, and small details, to give tribute to the Artist, Architects, Landscapers, and Tenants who once lived and worked this estate.
