Businessman. Comstock millionaire and builder of San Francisco's "Baldwin Hotel" (1876), which rivaled the "Palace" for luxury. A gathering place for the city's elite, the hotel included a little theater. He owned Rancho Santa Anita in southern California, future site of the race track, and was known as a notorious gambler and womanizer. His home is now on the grounds of the Los Angeles Arboretum, and was used as Mr. Roark's home on "Fantasy Island."
