The apartment that Mia lives in is located out in Long Beach and is stunning! Of all the homes on this list, this is the only one so far that will give you beautiful views of the ocean. It has been called the Taj Mahal of Tile and I absolutely love that the house features locally made tile! The house was built in 1929 as a vacation home for the Adamson family but eventually became their fulltime residence. After the death of the owners, the state won a lawsuit to put beach parking where the house is. The parking lot got approved but thanks to the work of locals and volunteers the house still remains.

Thank you for sharing your great pictures and information. This home may be small by today’s over-inflated standards, but what that generation of designers considered to be minimum standards certainly lack in contemporary homes. The placement of the windows in this house, in particular, eliminates ‘dark’ corners quite well.

Once Upon A Time In Hollywood was filmed all over the LA area so I have been trying to visit as many filming locations from the movie as I can. Brad Pitt’s character lived in a trailer behind the Van Nuys drive-in theatre, which was actually filmed at the Paramount drive-in since the Van Nuys location no longer exists. While you can go to the drive-in, the trailer is not there. But, you can see Leo’s Character Rick Dalton’s house. Self-guided walking tours of the exterior of Heritage Square Museum homes are currently available. You can enjoy the beauty of the homes and the gardens.

They already spent $13,000 just on the lot and tearing down the old house. Within two years the novel had sold 540,000 copies. The screen rights were sold for $200,000.[1] It was adapted as a film of the same name, released in 1948, which starred Cary Grant, Myrna Loy, and Melvyn Douglas. Later three radio adaptations were also performed, with Grant in the leading role, followed by a weekly radio series, also starring Grant.
Famous Houses in Los Angeles
The roof was simply carried over to form a hood over the door. The Gamble House in Pasadena is one of my favorite homes to visit. It is filled with fascinating details and a tour is well worth your time. I recommend visiting The Gamble House to admire the architecture and history as much as I recommend visiting it as a filming location.

I recommend stopping by for at least a quick visit if you can. The real estate agent knows a couple of suckers when he sees them. He tells them a story about how the house is an historical landmark because General Gates stopped to water his horses here during the Revolutionary War. The craftsman-style house is located near downtown Long Beach.
He also designed one of my favorite places in LA, the Wayfarers Chapel. The Derby House was built for businessman James Derby, though due to a separation with his wife he would never live here. The textile blocks are supposed to help keep the interior bright.
Will Rogers State Park
The area is stunning and has great views of the city too. It is free to visit the grounds though occasionally the opportunity will become available to tour the inside for a fee. You can read about my visit here in my post on Greystone Mansion. They soon learn that the house is structurally unsound and must be torn down. The Blandings' dream house soon threatens to be the nightmare that undoes them.
Just be sure to watch out for the oncoming traffic and you’ll be fine. One of my favorites was Mr. Blandings Builds His Dream House. It was based on a true story, which was turned into a bestselling book. The 1948 film starring Cary Grant and Myrna Loy celebrated leaving city life and spreading out in suburbia. Mr. Blandings Builds His Dream House is a 1948 American comedy film directed by H. C. Potter, and starring Cary Grant, Myrna Loy and Melvyn Douglas.
The Happy Days House is located near Paramount Studios where the show was filmed. I visited Garry Marshall’s grave the day after I came to see this house so it felt like a very full-circle moment. Several homes get a little bit of a transformation for their on-screen appearance. However, I think one of the homes that looks the most different is the house from Pee Wee’s Big Adventure.
From the photos that I have seen online the inside looks really interesting. The Hollyhock House was designed by Frank Llyod Wright for Aline Barnsdall though she quickly became disillusioned with the home and donated it to the city of LA. The hollyhock was Aline’s favorite flower and was used as a theme throughout the house. Even if you cannot tour the home it is visible from the park and the city views are wonderful as well.
This home feels the most private in the sense that all of the other homes on the list are easily visible from the street and sidewalk. In this case, you do have to walk to the gate in order to see the house. I am going to be honest and admit that I have never seen an episode of Mad Men. But, I can’t pass up the opportunity to visit a famous filming location.
Ownership of the house remained with the Lane family until 1955. In 1963 the home became The Magic Castle, home to the Academy of Magical Arts. If you ever have the chance to step inside this spectacular place please do not hesitate to do so.
It originally appeared as a short story called "Mr. Blandings Builds His Castle" in the April 1946 issue of Fortune magazine. An advertising executive dreams of getting out of the city and building a perfect home in the country, only to find the transition fraught with problems. There is a list printed at the bottom of an advertising page. I think there’s about 60 listed, but it’s just cities, no street addresses.
And yet last weekend on a little jaunt to Los Angeles, we made a detour to Malibu and stood in the exact spot where Cary Grant and Myrna Loy had filmed over sixty years ago. The old house, dating from the Revolutionary War era, turns out to be structurally unsound and must be torn down before the previous owner's mortgage is paid off. The Blandings hire architect Henry Simms to design and supervise the construction of a new home for $18,000, which Muriel insists must have four bedrooms and four bathrooms.
The attendant waived the usual $15 entrance fee to the park, gave us a twenty minute grace period and told us to drive on in. Like, why in the world would you want to see the outside of some silly house? But actually he was asking because he wanted to know if we were just going to drive in, see the house and leave.
