These are achievements that began with Bertram Goodhue's innovative design for the house and initial landscaping, continued with Wright Ludington and Lockwood de Forest's transformation of the estate into an Italian villa, and culminated as Dr. and Mrs. Warren R. Austin blended their own personalities into Val Verde. Mitchell's work at Austin Val Verde was a labor of love.
