Studio City House Heralds Back to Mack Sennett Days

See a video from Joann Deutch's new book about Studio City.

The official Los Angeles city records show that this thick-walled adobe house in Studio City, California was built in 1938. It is still used as a private residence. In the spring and summer the garden is a riot of colors. Early maps of Mack Sennett Studios show that this house was just outside the boundary lines of the 800 acres he bought to relocate his movie studio from Silver Lake to Studio City in 1927. It is possible that the house, and the property's ownership goes back to the Davis family who owned a ranch in this area before the 1900s. "Studio City - A Mile of Style, What's History, What's Gossip" is available on Amazon in paperback and ebook.
