Here we have a photo of the very first house in Hollywood. This adobe was built in 1853 by Don Tómas Urquidez near what is now the corner of Franklin Ave and Outpost Drive, which puts it a couple of blocks west of where the Magic Castle now stands. The house was known as The Outpost so I’m guessing that’s where the Outpost Estates to its direct north drew its name. Miraculously, the house lasted until 1924; this photo was taken around 1905.
Of course, someone had to tear it down.
