Hollins, Marion

Marion Hollins (1892-1944, Monterey), born in New York, came to Santa Cruz from Monterey in the 1920s to purchase land on which to develop a golf/residential planned community she named "Pasatiempo". Hollins bought the property from heirs of F. W. Billing, who had acquired it from the estate of William Kerr.
