In looking up some things, the address discrepancy comes from this bit of info:
Club Seville opened in 1935 by Marcel Lamaze and Al “de Freitas." Both had long associations with Sunset Strip clubs:
Freitas had run a previous Club Seville at 8428 Sunset that was raided during Prohibition.
So there was a previous incarnation across the street on the South side of Sunset Blvd.

I don't know if this clears anything up, but:
A little west of the 8496 Sunset Blvd. corner address, at 8524 Sunset Blvd. at left in the above photo...
...was the Asia
Bazaar, an imported goods shop owned by modern dance pioneer Ruth
St. Denis that sold oriental fabrics and antiques. It was later taken over for use as an auction house by the adjacent David Tennant Galleries. After Tennant moved out at the end of May 1945, the space became Charochka, one of two Russian restaurants on the Strip at the time. It was here through the end of 1947.
So maybe Ruth moved her operations from 8524 over to 8496?
The 8524 Sunset Blvd. address: ***
Asia Bazaar - for several years in the 1930's.
David Tennant Auction House - until May, 1945.
Charochka Russian Restaurant - 1945 through the end of 1947.
Club Bayou - sold at auction in Sept, 1951.
Gypsy Camp (Hungarian Restaurant) - Dec. 1951
22 Club - ?
New Club Trocadero - Mid-1950's. Ad for the "New Trocadero" says "Formerly 22 Club."
Alpine Lodge - ?
Dino's Lodge - Opened on March 21, 1958. The owners of Alpine Lodge, which wasn't very successful, approached Dean about using his name in return for a percentage of the profits.
