There was an article about the Abbey recently (wish I could remember where) that mentioned the dungeon in the basement. No one knew why it was there because apparently it hadn't been used that way, but some movies used it for location shots. It is definitely one of a kind.Petrea Burchardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13043950465171821852noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1067046564433930606.post-71740611757124103622018-02-21T15:32:04.188-08:002018-02-21T15:32:04.188-08:00I used to babysit for Jackson’s son in that house....I used to babysit for Jackson’s son in that house. It was kind of spooky and in the kitchen there was a door which led down to the cells which still had shackles on the walls. I even saw a ghost in the courtyard. I have a pic of his baby grand piano in the room with the huge round stained glass window. I will never forget that place. The bricks in the courtyard has names of the men that helped build it.<br />One of a kind.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18194115911126486975noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1067046564433930606.post-70554808684145859272014-08-24T17:07:00.534-07:002014-08-24T17:07:00.534-07:00Hi Mike,

A copy of Browne' OH is in Centennial Room, Pasadena Central. Perhaps I'll write about the OH next week.<br /><br />Quick aside - Around 1971 my friends and I went to hear Laura Nyro at the Santa Monica Civic Auditorium. The young man who opened for her had to deal with hecklers in the crowd. They told him to get off stage, so Laura could begin her performance. Yes, that was Jackson Browne, who they were trying to get off the stage. Laura was accompanied by her friends - Labelle.<br /><br /><br />Latino Heritagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13184286331105672582noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1067046564433930606.post-42681149393826156052013-04-22T05:42:44.770-07:002013-04-22T05:42:44.770-07:00What a fabulous house and how many story...

I knew he was from this area but had no idea the house was in Highland Park. It has such an interesting history; I'm so glad it still exists, but am I the only one who finds the video a bit spooky?
