Ronald Reagan loved wide-open spaces. In 1956, he bought a piece of land in the Palisades Riviera with views from Griffith Park to the Channel Islands and built the home where he would raise his family, serve as head of SAG, Governor of California and President Of The United States.

The Reagan’s house was taken down, but cognizant of the site’s historical importance, Jaman salvaged items of significance to incorporate into the new build. An example is the rusted shower door from the Reagans’ private bath. Jaman installed the door in the new library bathroom with a plaque that reads, “On this spot, on election night, November 4th 1980, former California Governor Ronald Reagan was in the shower, his wife Nancy was taking a bath. The phone rang and Nancy answered. She handed the phone to her husband and, as water cascaded over him, he heard Jimmy Carter’s voice: “Congratulations Mr. Reagan. You’re President of The United States”.
