Falcon Lair
1924 – 2006
Falcon Lair (also known as Falcon's Lair) was an estate above Benedict Canyon in Los Angeles, California. The Spanish Revival house, designed by Wallace Neff, was originally built by Beverly Hills-based real estate developer George Read for the silent film actor Rudolph Valentino, who purchased and dubbed it "Falcon Lair" in honor of The Hooded Falcon, a never-completed film the actor tried to produce with his wife Natacha Rambova. Valentino bought the 4-acre (1.6 ha) estate in 1925 for $175,000 (equivalent to $3,213,000 in 2025).
