Doheny , Sr. , meanwhile , lived in his own mansion , which he had purchased in 1901 . It was part of Chester Place , a gated community of Victorian mansions , and by his death in 1935 , Doheny ended up owning most of the houses , as well as the street . Built in 1899 in the French Gothic architectural style , this three-story , twenty-two-room residence was damaged in the 1933 earthquake but was repaired . It is within Mount Saint Mary 's University 's Doheny campus , where it houses college departments , runs docent tours , and hosts chamber music concerts by The Da Camera Society
