Kimberly Crest is modeled after a French chateau and has been lovingly restored. In fact, it has been lived in by only three families since being built in 1897 by Mrs. Cornelia Hill. It was bought by Mrs. Helen Kimberly, and then Mrs. Elizabeth Shirk. For people familiar with Hollywood, the Magic Castle in Hollywood is an exact mirror image of Kimberly Crest. The Magic Castle was built for magic shows and dining.
