The same year that Homer, Sr., died (1913), Homer, Jr. subdivided Laughlin Park in the Los Feliz neighborhood of Los Angeles.  Laughlin Park was home of many of the elite in the early days of Hollywood.  A centerpiece of the gated neighborhood is the former Cecil B. DeMille estate, which was listed for sale for $23.9 million in 2008.  It is still a very desirable address.
