The Locations Revealed! 1,500+ "Then and Now" Filming Location Photos.

---

This first then and now filming location photo comparison shows us the Main Street entrance to the old Adams Hotel. The view is looking towards Washington Blvd with 9412 Washington Blvd's "Mark The Carpetbagger" seen in the background. Both of these buildings date back to the earliest days of Culver City and have appeared in dozens and dozens of movie and TV episodes from the 1920s through the late 1980s.

Sadly, everything on the block where the Adams Hotel was situated was demolished in the late 1980s. A parking lot occupied the entire block until the 2010s when the massive Culver Steps development was built.

The "Mark The Carpetbagger" building at 9412 Washington Blvd has fared much better over the past 100 years. While the front has been extensively remodeled, it is in fact the same building that appears in several of the silent films of Laurel and Hardy, The Little Rascals and many other comedies made in the 1920s, along with several episodes of CHiPs and the 1980s TV series Hunter.

A similar view of 9412 Washington Blvd from the Main Street entrance of the Adams Hotel. The top photo is from the 1924 Little Rascals (Our Gang)  film "The Sun Down Limited."

When this Charlie's Angels episode was filmed in 1979, the front of 9412 Washington Blvd was pretty much the same as it was in 1924, unlike today where most of the front of the building is walled off.

In the top photo, across the street is the Washington Blvd side of the Adams Hotel. The view is looking northeast from in front of 9412 Washington Blvd. 

Today, the Culver Steps development occupies the entire block and Washington Blvd is now routed one block north onto Culver Blvd as it travels through downtown Culver City. 

Laurel and Hardy meet Charlie's Angels!
