Sunset Hill

The southwestern-most of the three mounds occupied by Emerald City, Sunset Hill is named for the everyday breathtaking vista of the sun setting over it. This spectacular natural panorama has captivated and inspired Emerald residents from Steven Malory (first to call the Hill home) to today’s digital photographers.
For many years Sunset Hill was the private reserve of Emerald’s “old money,” and the mansions and grounds there passed from one Roman-numerated son to the next. Many remain there today, such as the Malorys, but their venerable ranks began to thin during the 1970's. The failing economy and social turmoil of the era combined to dispossess some of the long-landed blue-bloods, a trend which has accelerated over the years.
