Christmas in Whitley Heights

Watsonia Terrace:
Gloria Swanson lived here while filming Sunset Blvd.
Yay!  Thank you Scott Michaels for giving Brian THE BEST book for Christmas - Secret Stairs: A Walking Guide to the Historic Staircases of Los Angeles. What a great book!

Christmas day Brian and I set out on our 1st trek to explore these forgotten treasures.  We hit Walk #36, the Historic District of Whitley Heights.  Wow.  Just wow.  This neighborhood is exquisite!  The houses, dating back to the early 1920's, were homes to early Hollywood stars such as Rudolph Valentino, Gloria Swanson and Jean Harlow.  So it was a feast for they eyes, and a workout for the legs with over 300 steps!


What a great Christmas!
