Production & Preservation Note: This 1986 footage captures the landmark 1924 Culver Hotel during its twilight era as a low-rent apartment block before its comprehensive 21st-century restoration. This legendary structural canvas stands as one of the most prolific filming locations in Southern California, appearing in classic cinema from the day its foundation was poured. It heavily anchored silent slapstick shorts from Hal Roach and Mack Sennett, served as lodging for the cast of The Wizard of Oz, and continues to connect early Hollywood geography directly to late-20th-century television history.
The third Quick Preview excerpt from the complete filming locations then and now documentary video for the episode Scrap Metal from the Hunter TV series takes Hunter to the downtown core of Culver City, California.
A Rare Look INSIDE The Historic Culver Hotel
Two thugs follow Hunter into the (then) seedy
Culver Hotel in downtown Culver City. We get a quick glimpse of the outside of the building (which at that time was an apartment building, no doubt with some "hourly" tenants!) and also the INSIDE lobby area of the building.
In the early 2000s, the Culver Hotel was beautifully restored and today is a "must visit" place for anyone interested in TV and movie locations. You can see the hotel in many of the movies and TV episodes on this site going back to 1923 when the hotel was under construction and all the way up to the present day.
