Keith at Modern San Diego had this to report in his last newsletter (see below):



The house has been torn down since, and is now the residence of The Lerachs.

This is from 2005 when they bought it:

Here’s how the 5.88 acres looks now:

    Wow! Fascinating history! Not just with the original Gagosian Mansion, but what’s happened to the place since!

    A 2,400 sqft living room!!! LOL! WOW!

    “America, what a country!”

    Wow, those pictures are fun to see! I lived in the Gagosian mansion as a teenager! The new house on the property looks beautiful, but miss seeing the copper roof on the cliffs that used to be there.

    I bought Konrad Leaks 1958 house in El Cajon but the children had no plans or idea who helped design it. Any idea where to check. The city has been no help, saying they have nothing before 72

    Thanks for bringing back such great old memories. I have a full color brochure of the Gagosian Mansion from back around 1979 if you are interested in having a copy. I was fortunate enough to be staying at the house when the owner hosted a party for President Reagan. I got to meet the President, Dr Zeuss, Governor Pete Wilson and a host of others.

    Hello Mr. Fink, it appears that You and I have a bit in common. My Wife Jane and I also spent some time as guests in Mr. Regan’s Home with his family, we stayed in the “GOLD” room. I was an armed plain clothes Bodyguard back then and my Buddy was His Daughters Boyfriend. The Video makes the Property Smaller than I Remember. We were there a few day’s after “Ronnie”, I really miss that guy, Best President we Ever had. Is the Wine Cellar Still there ? While there Mr. Regan Hired me to protect his 40 Rembrandt Paintings while on Display. What about the Barbecue Pit in the Pool ? And I remember the Front yard 9-hole Golf Course being a lot bigger. I cannot locate my Color Brochure, anything you can help me out with would be appreciated. Respectfully. Rally Hammer.

    Debbie, Thank you for helping “Kick-Start” my old memory about the Copper Sheeting Roof, So I’m assuming the Egyptian Mosaic Tiled Entry and Two 300′ drive way’s are gone too ? I didn’t see the 74′ Bridge over the Pool on the video. Debbie when you lived there was the 24K Gold Flake “Tree Chandelier” still in the living room ? Our stay at the Gagosian Mansion in 1979 was one of the most memorable times of our fifty year marriage. I find the changes made to the property may be better for new owners, but is painful to me, such as the KOI filled creek surrounding the house with small Japanese Garden bridges at every entryway. Thanks again Debbie and God Bless. Rally Hammer

    Rally Hammer, it’s Mr Rogan who owned the Rembrandt collection, not to be confused with Mr Regan or our former president, Mr Reagan
