Very cool pics of the Chapman Park Hotel, I've never seen those before. I like the Zephyr Room pics too.

This brought me way back.
I remember looking in the windows of the extremely spooky Spanish Kitchen.
Everything was just as it was in the 1930s or 1940s (plates on the tables..coats on hooks..old newspapers.. etc).
Does anyone here remember this place?
It was in the vicinity of El Coyote.....but on the north side of the street.

Very interesting murder-suicide story. I'd never heard of it before; I wonder if the house is still vacant, or if it even still exists.
I do remember the Original Spanish Kitchen, on Beverly. I remember reading about it and the urban legend in the LA Times too, when I was a teen. It's now a beauty salon or something, with the sign altered to say "SPA." I think it opened in the late 1990s, but I could be wrong. There's now another restaurant on La Cienega with a replica "Original Spanish Kitchen" sign on it.
