There's a hidden garden here. Welcome the chance to challenge your balance. The architects who designed this garden have created grassy slopes the kids love flinging themselves down.
Secret rooftop garden has tranquil water areas, waterfalls, stepping-stones, bamboo and plantings to create a Zen-like atmosphere., based on 16th century samurai lord's garden in Tokyo.
There is a beautiful rock garden back in there, with waterfalls, tropical plantings, stone benches, and pathways. Sometimes rented out for a private event.
Said to be a secret museum in here, containing four grand rooms from original 1907 Hancock mansion with their ornate furnishings, inspired by the Medici Palace in Florence. By appointment only.
A row of historic homes across the street, and the historic Central Spanish SDA Church down on the corner of Hoover.
Currently very limited opening times (2nd Saturday ea month?), still being renovated. Looks very cool, Gaudi-esque!
