What is Bellosguardo in the biography, Empty Mansions?

Bellosguardo is a seaside estate in Santa Barbara, California. Clark bought Bellosguardo shortly before his death. Eight years after an earthquake in the area, Anna razed the original house and had a new, sturdier house built. Anna decorated the house herself, making parts of it a small memorial to her daughter Andree. Anna and Huguette visited Bellosguardo multiple times a year until 1953 when Anna became too frail to travel. After Anna’s death, Huguette inherited the estate. Huguette never visited the house again, but she insisted that it be kept in the same condition in which her mother left it. In fact, after repairs were made to the house, Huguette studied pictures, demanding that everything be returned to the way it was, including the return of a dog house for a dog who had been long gone.
