Mary Andrews Clark Residence
As Floyd B. Bariscale points out, the building is so large, it's hard to capture in a photograph. So here's the bird's eye view from Bing:
The building has appeared in countless movies, and portrayed a mental hospital in at least two that I know of: "Changeling" starring Angelina Jolie, and "The Ring 2" starring Naomi Watts.
A commenter at B.O.L. even posted the building's old phone number! HU 3-5780 |
Hello again NorishLA. It's me Mr.Swink. I am back with a new handle because for 6 months I have tried to gain access to my old account to no avail. So I created this new one. It's good to be back.
But I was on a location scout for a TV show last year and took these pictures inside the Mary Andrews Clark Residence at Loma and 3rd Street.
