We have confirmed that the complex was built by Chaplin in 1923 as a sort of dormitory for the actors working at United Artists Studios (now Jim Henson Studios) two blocks away on La Brea. To live here you have to be pretty nuts – the current residents are all zany performers, musicians, producers, and actors of one kind or another. Swashbuckling occurs regularly in the courtyard.
I wonder how this poster confirmed that Chaplin built the complex?

I'm off now to google ' Zwebell'! I love Patio del Moro on Fountain Avenue.....I have a few memories there.
