I could be wrong, but I don't believe we've seen an exterior view of 335 N. La Brea when it was the Pirate's Den.
Can we rectify that mateys? |

As far as I can tell, we still haven't found a photograph of the exterior, but earlier today I found a treasure trove (pun intended
) of various movie stars
playing within it's piratey confines.
As mentioned on the back of the 1944 postcard, "where the swabs throw bottles at iron pirates" (see below)
I spy Dorothy Lamour and Rudy Vallee
