"The history of the area associated with Sugar Pine Point 3P (Phipps, Hellman-Bhrman Estate) is generally that of Lake Tahoe. Without doubt, the area occupied by the buildings being submitted for registration is among the most attractive in California, having been so described by John Charles Freraont, Dan De Quille, Mark Twain, Thomas Starr King and many others.
A sumptuous summer home, subsequently to be known as "the Mansion", was completed for the Hellmans in 1903. This is one of the buildings being sponsored for registration. By 1913 the Hellman Estate, with its large gabled and turreted mansion, its outlying servants quarters, tennis court, boathouse, watertower, carriage house, ice house, and accessory structures, became noted as the finest private estate in the High Sierra.
At the time of state acquisition in 1965, it was the summer residence of Mr. and Mrs. Sydney Ehrman (nee Florence Hellman) of San Francisco. Under the excellent stewardship of its owners, the entire holding had re- mained unimpaired and £nssfierlative natural state." (
