This mansion was constructed in 1891 by architect Carrol A. Brown as the home of retired Chicago lumberman Thomas Douglas Stimson.The family continued to occupy the home until it was sold to Alfred Solano in 1907; the family sold it to Edward R. Maier of the Maier Brewing Company in 1918. After his death in the 1940s the house served as a USC fraternity house until purchased by Mrs. Carrie Estelle Doheny in 1948, who then donated it to the Sisters of St. Joseph of Carondelet. The Sisters operate the Doheny campus of Mount St. Mary's College.
The mansion is at 2421 S. Figueroa Street, adjacent to St. Vincent de Paul Church; it is not open to the public.
