[QUOTE=gsjansen;4844075]in "Kiss me Deadly", Mike Hammer begins his search into the reason why Cloris Leachman's character was killed, his 1st stop is supposedly 127 flower street.
however, the house that he go's into, which is supposed to be the flower street address, has a great retaining wall entrance walkway from the street with an amazing labyrinth of stairs and verandas that Mike Hammer walks up. whenever i searched for a photo of the house on Flower Street, I could never find it.
i stumbled upon this photo which is definitely the house that is supposed to be the flower street address. The photo indicates that the house is located at the intersection of Sunset and hill.

gsjansen has the correct house.
Mike Hammer sets out for 121 Flower Street to interview a science reporter who is in hiding. Hammer ends up here:

This house was located on the corner of Sunset and North Hill Place. Here are a couple of color photos:

The house was torn down in 1958. There is now a mortuary located on the property.
Hammer learns that Christina (Cloris Leachman) lived at 325 S. Bunker Hill Avenue. The house at 325 S. Bunker Hill was the famous "Castle".

Did Hammer really end up at "The Castle"?

Sure looks like it!
We also have a Noirish bonus here. A very short drive up N. Hill Place from the house on Sunset and N. Hill Place is none other than...
