William O. Jenkins House, Mediterranean Revival mansion in Windsor Square, Los Angeles, US.

The William O. Jenkins House featured steel and concrete construction with brick-lined interior walls and fourteen bedrooms across two floors.

Built in 1923 for businessman William O. Jenkins at a cost of $250,000, the residence remained vacant for ten years after the family departure.

The mansion appeared in two major films: Sunset Boulevard in 1950 and Rebel Without a Cause in 1955, before its demolition in 1957.

The property at 641 South Irving Boulevard included a swimming pool constructed specifically for the filming of Sunset Boulevard movie scenes.

Local residents named it the Phantom House during its decade of abandonment before J. Paul Getty purchased the property in 1936.

Location: Los Angeles

Inception: 1923
