When I glance to the right I thought I had discovered something very cool when I noticed a house hiding behind a facade
on the SW corner of Witmer and Wilshire.

so I quickly hovered for a better look.

If I lived in L.A. I would go to dinner here tonight just to see the inside of this amazing place.

Alas, GaylordWilshire posted about this house way back on March of 2011:

..but as far as I can tell, no one has been able to dig up a vintage photograph of this house.

So much for my big discovery. lol.




but I also noticed this ghost sign behind the mystery house.
