We are honored to present the extraordinary estate of Lolita Armour and her husband, John J. Mitchell. Lolita, heiress to the Armour meat-packing fortune, married Jack Mitchell in 1921, uniting two of America’s most prominent families. Jack Mitchell was a pioneering founder of United Airlines and a scion of the distinguished Chicago banking family behind Continental Illinois Bank & Trust Co. Together, Lolita and Jack formed one of the wealthiest couples of their time, with an estimated combined fortune exceeding $120 million. This sale features the remarkable contents of El Mirador, their storied 70-acre estate in Montecito, CA. Highlights include original Salem, Massachusetts furniture, family portraits, ephemera, wine, and rare furnishings—offering a rare glimpse into generations of Mitchell and Armour family history linked to the East Coast.
