After watching William Castle's
13 Ghosts at JeffDiego's suggestion, I decided to take a look at some other Castle films, figuring I'd be likely to find more L.A. location shots.
In Castle's 1963
13 Frightened Girls, set in England, among actual London locations we find a building, supposedly in the English city but actually in L.A.: the Fontenoy apartments at 1811 Whitley Avenue in Hollywood:

Some of the veteran character actors in
13 Frightened Girls are Murray Hamilton (who went on to fame as Mr. Robinson in
The Graduate); Hugh Marlowe (I never thought he could act his way out of the proverbial paper bag, but what do I know? He had a long career, playing among many other roles Lloyd Richards in
All About Eve as well as starring in
The Day the Earth Stood Still); and Norma Varden, an English actress in everything from
National Velvet to
The Sound of Music to
Gentlemen Prefer Blondes to
I Love Lucy.
