- Note
- The home of Santa Monica co-founder John Percival Jones was built in 1888 and located on Ocean Avenue. The Victorian mansion was three stories tall and included 17 bedrooms. In the 1920s the home was remodeled and enlarged and opened as the Miramar Hotel in 1921. The portion of the hotel comprised of Jones' original home was demolished in the 1930s. The hotel was once owned by King Gillette (the inventor of the safety razor) and Joe Massaglia. The hotel has been managed by the Fairmont Hotels and Resorts since 1999 and was renamed the Fairmont Miramar Hotel.
