Prosperous mining magnate Oliver P. Posey (1845-1930) lived at this residence with his wife, Sara (born 06/1860 in NJ), and children after they moved from their grand house at 8 Chester Place, where they lived only one year. They sold the Chester Place house (and its furnishings) for $120,000, an immense sum in 1901, to the oil millionaire, Edward S. Doheny, Sr., (1856-1935), and his second wife, Carrie Estelle Betzold Doheny (1875-1958).

The Poseys lived in this house following their move from 8 Chester Place. One source indicated the house to have been at 421 West Adams Boulevard. (See Don Sloper, Los Angeles's Chester Place, [Charleston, SC: Arcadia Publishing Company, 2006], p. 21.)

Demolished; this house was located near to the West Adams Boulevard overpass of the Harbor Freeway.
