==History== Construction on the Sunnylands estate began in 1963. University of Southern California professor A. Quincy Jones designed the 25,000-square-foot midcentury modern house known for its pink roof. At one time, the house was the largest in Riverside County. Renowned interior designer and former screen actor William Haines and assistant Ted Graber were the interior designers on the project.
