... that Jack Mitchell and his heiress wife Lolita transformed El Mirador into "one of the most fabulous estates in Montecito" complete with a dairy, a zoo, and a floating tea pavillion on a lake? Source: "In 1922, Lolita Armour married John J. Mitchell Jr. in Chicago. ... The Mitchells split their time among their Chicago penthouse, El Mirador, a Montecito beach house, their 12,000-acre ranch in the Santa Ynez Valley, and property they owned at Zaca Lake. Elmer Awl was put in charge of developing the gardens and grounds of El Mirador. Awl had known the Armours in Pasadena and he eventually moved to El Mirador to transform the grounds into one of the most fabulous estates in Montecito. Awl supervised a crew of up to 30 gardeners to look after all of this." ([1])

Article is new enough, long enough, and within policy. No close paraphrasing was detected and the QPQ has been done. The hook is interesting, an appropriate length, and supported with an inline citation that verifies its content. This is a well constructed article and a quality addition to the encyclopedia. It can be promoted. Good work!4meter4 (talk) 16:14, 20 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
