Beach view, with Irene in new Malibu Home..
I would like to see what this home looks like today..
My mother remembers staying here for mini-vacations. Unfortunately, she recalls that she could never sleep well because the waves were so noisy. I love the sound of the ocean. Apparently Irene did too. She loved the beach and had always wanted a beach home.
Hope you enjoyed the photos.
Clicking on them will show you a larger view by the way.
Have a great day!
The tourmaline beaded evening gown was shown at Irene’s 1950 Fall collection and photographed at Irene, Inc. showroom

Baker MT later when the roads were paved and even motor cars, instead of horses were used as a form of transport! There is even a movie theatre, probably showing “talkies,” quite unlike the silent films Irene saw in Baker as a kid.
Baker MT ca. 1930
Main St. Baker MT With Lentz Store on Right
A photo of Baker’s Main St. around 1910 shows it when Irene first moved there with her family. To the left are the town’s saloons catering to the “unattached” ranch hands, cowpokes and farmers. On the right, the two-story building is the Lentzes’ general store, selling a variety of merchandise. Upstairs were rented rooms. The trolley in the photo is fake. The streets are still unpaved and muddy and the scene could very well serve as a set for a western movie.
