A BRIEF OVERVIEW of LA's "Witch House"
One of the houses on Beverly Hills' North Walden Drive is nothing like the others. With its steeply angled rooftop, askew shutters, rickety picket fence, and moat, the Spadena House--or, as some call it, the "Witch House"--looks similar to it belongs on the set of a fairytale film than on the street in LA. And, in fact, that's wherever 516 N. Walden Drive was actually built: Within the whole lot of Willat Studio room in Culver City.
The house was created by Oscar-nominated fine art director Harry Oliver in 1921. The owners of the studio, Carl and Irvin Willat, instructed him to create a structure that can house the studio's office space and dressing rooms and dual as a set to save lots of money. Based on the Culver City Historical Society, Oliver began learning the architecture of bungalows in the old British countryside and "developed the idea of an 'British cottage fantasy' architecture." Although it appeared "tumbled down," the LA Express promised its viewers that the studio's offices were "equipped with the most modern appurtenances."
