Mostly forgotten today, Clara Kimball Young was the most popular movie star in the United States in the 1910s and early 1920s. |
Well,
ER, 5070 Hollywood Blvd was actually the studio of commercial photographer Charles W Beam. The house in the picture is a mystery... it doesn't seem to match up with any of the houses listed on various websites as Kimball's home. Clara was listed in the 1920 census at the well-known Ramsey-Durfee house at 2425 S Western Ave (I thought we'd covered it here, but I can't find it; see
Big Orange Landmarks. The house in the picture looks to me to be one even farther east in the West Adams district; she did once live at 1010 Magnolia--a now-missing block of that street, but I'm not sure the terrain would match up. Maybe it still stands somewhere....
