"In 1900, Hollywood, California, was a small town of 500 people, many of whom had moved there from the midwest. Around 15 years earlier, Daeida Hartell, a young woman from Ohio, had traveled there with her husband, Harvey Henderson Wilcox, and convinced him to purchase 120 acres... the couple soon moved there permanently and imagined a "utopian subdivision" to accommodate cultured, wholesome Midwesterners looking for fresh air and a second act in California...She [Daeida Hartell] was creating an alcohol-free, cultured Christian community. To that end she offered free lots to Christian churches regardless of their denomination."
