An apartment building one block from Desilu Cahuenga studios. The 2nd of four Desilu properties. Lucy and Desi utilized this space to rest and sleep, as an alternative to driving back to the Desilu ranch in Chatsworth, 30 miles away and eventually Beverly Hills.

Hollywood has an incredible amount of history that is part of the fabric of who we are. Everyone has a connection to movies and television, the whole world over. When I worked on the former Desilu gower lot, a few blocks from the location I am showcasing here, the mail room was still receiving fan mail for Lucy and other stars, because parts of the world were only recently getting the chance to see some of America's great films and Television shows

the studios were not fancy back in the day, they were factories and they looked like them too. Now many of the studios have lush grounds; lots of lawn flowers etc...

Excellent video, Gary! It is very sad that Lucy and Desi's former home has been/will be demolished. Something like that should be preserved, not destroyed. I hope the building that was used as the 'Desilu Studios' remains standing forever. Wow! There is so much history of television in that area. Thank you so much for posting this video.

I believe I mentioned this in the video, but there were a total of 4 properties that carried the Desilu name, and all four are still standing today, and all very, very busy.

This was such a cool building. Wish more old buildings were restored and preserved instead of demolished. We don’t value architectural history here in this country as much as we should. 😕

This is not a coincidence that I saw this video as there is no such thing. Thank you ever so much for sharing and showing us the memories of Lucille and Desi and I felt like I was in their time and really became emotional. Just love them both and I know they are happy where they are right now. God bless you more Gary and I bless you for the goodness of God that is at work in you and through you.

Thanks for the tour and info. I am wondering if you or anyone were able to take some things GS from the property before it was demolished? They probably have companies who do that. Like those green outside lights, doors, other fixtures. I wonder if they sell those things online or at an auction or do they have stores around that handle those types of things? I do hope you can give me some answer. Thank you so much.

@@mgmbacklot Hopefully someone did. It would have been really cool to have had those outdoor lights. I knew someone once who actually I need a piece of furniture that was in Kennedy's white house. A black and white checked chaise. I say I that many times and inevitably thought of those days. It was just really special to own something from that time in the White House you know?

Whaaaaaat?? NOOOOO, gosh the buildings and houses with great history and beauty that get demolished is so damn sad!! Especially, the ones that don't actually need to demolished and only are for reasons like someone wanting to build on that property or payment troubles etc... For example, Glenridge Hall in sandy springs, Georgia aka the salvatore residence (the vampire diaries) was ASTOUNDING! So beautiful and was taken good care of! Was demolished back in 2014-2015 because the great granddaughter of the original owners that built the house in 1929, let money and greed took hold and she sold the mansion to Mercedes benz where they knocked it down and turned the land into stupid ass HQ! Im sorry im ranting but this stuff happens all the time and way to often its just so sad 😞 😥
