Cheviot Hills Filming Locations: The Early Days of the Los Angeles Neighborhood
A late silent era Laurel and Hardy movie,
Bacon Grabbers did much of its filming on location. The first stop on our tour has us following Laurel and Hardy in their trusty Model T Ford heading to Mr. Kennedy's house. We see them at the often-used filming location of the intersection of Venice Blvd and Bagley Avenue in Los Angeles. This intersection appears in many Laurel and Hardy movies, including
The Second 100 Years and
Putting Pants On Philip. The 1934
Our Gang / The Little Rascals movie
Honky-Donkey also filmed here.
Then, it's on to the primary filming location, Mr. Kennedy's house at 10341 Bannockburn Drive, built in 1928. In the late 1920s, this home's Cheviot Hills neighborhood was just being built out, and we get some spectacular views of the wide-open spaces that characterized this section of the Westside of Los Angeles prior to the late 1920s building boom.
