Above: The living room at 426 N. Bristol Ave. as it stands now. This room has pretty much been unchanged from when Joan Crawfrod resided here.

Above: Here's what's left of Joan's famous dressing room. It is being made into a maser bathroom, the many niches were once closets that were homes for the many clothes and shoes Joan Crawford owned.
