The interior also had the "castle" feel with big mirrors, high ceilings & windows & curvy edges to the walls. My parents decorated with antique furniture which seemed to fit in perfectly.

Our family and the house were featured regularly in the Wilshire Press newspaper and at least once on the local TV News.
I sure loved growing up there; the castle itself seemed like one of the family.

I remember the location as a Thai restaurant in the '80s. There is currently a storage facility on the southeast corner of Melrose and Western that looks relatively recent. Any idea what was there when you lived in the neighborhood?
Here are some images from '53 that may rekindle some memories. If they are reposts, or difficult to view, sorry.
