The Healy House at 565, formerly 625 Perugia Way in the Bel Air district of Los Angeles was built in 1949 by the Modernist architect Lloyd Wright, son of Frank Lloyd Wright for a P.J. Healy. He then sold it to Prince Aly Khan, who lived there in the last year of his marriage to Rita Hayworth. Elvis Presley rented the house from the new owner, the Shah of Iran's deposed father in the 1960s and it was the site of The Beatles only meeting with Presley on 27 August 1965.A letter writer to the Los Angeles Times in 1998 described the house as offering "...a graceful and optimistic view of the future: a Usonian ranch house nestled in the bowl of a concrete flying saucer that hovers over the golf course below" and its replacement as a "kitschy and grandiose neo-baroque structure".

Drake Stadium (UCLA)
Drake Stadium (UCLA)

Drake Stadium is an 11,700-capacity stadium in Los Angeles, California and the home of the UCLA Bruins men's and women's track and field teams. The stadium, built in 1969, is named for UCLA track legend Elvin C. "Ducky" Drake, who was a student-athlete, track coach and athletic trainer for over 60 years. It was the home of the UCLA Bruins men's and women's soccer teams until 2017. They are now playing at the soccer-specific Wallis Annenberg Stadium also located on the campus of University of California, Los Angeles. There was a proposal in 1965 to build a 44,000 seat "Multi-Purpose Stadium" on campus, for UCLA Bruins track meets and varsity football games, rather than the Bruins using the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum for home field. In both spring and fall 1965, UCLA students "voted by a two-to-one majority against the proposal to use fee funds to build a football stadium." Additionally, the proposal was opposed by influential area residents and politicians. By February 1966 UCLA had scaled back the project to the Drake Stadium configuration. Although the football stadium never became a reality, there have been UCLA Bruins football scrimmage games played in the stadium. Drake Stadium has hosted the Pacific-10 (now Pac-12) Track and Field Championships, the USA Outdoor Track and Field Championships in 1976-77-78, the Pacific-8 Championships in 1970 and 1977 and the CIF California State Meet for high schools in 1969-71-77. The facility hosted the first-ever California-Nevada Championships on April 30-May 1, 1994. It also has hosted other student events such as concerts and graduation ceremonies. The field at Drake Stadium is named for UCLA alumnus Frank Marshall, a film producer.
