In the Spike Jonze-directed video for "Drop", The Pharcyde started (or ended depending on how you look at it) their walk through Los Angeles at St. Vincent Court. The video was filmed with them walking backwards and then it was reversed.

St. Vincent Court is a downtown back alley that is now home to a number of storefronts and restaurants. It has been described as charming, but you wouldn't know that from the 1996 video where the alley is mostly deserted.

The first season of Comedy Central's Workaholics was filmed at this location. Some of the cast members (Adam DeVine, Blake Anderson) and director Kyle Newacheck (a.k.a. Karl, a.k.a. "the human genius", a.k.a. "the guy on the t-shirt") lived at this location while filming the series. Anders said he would not live at the house "because it was gross and had rats."

In a disturbing act of life imitating art, cast member Blake Anderson fractured his back at this location after jumping off the roof onto a beer pong table.

The Ferus Gallery was a modern art gallery in Los Angeles from 1957 to 1966. At the time, Los Angeles had little in the way of modern art gallery space, and the Ferus was one of the first serious attempts to bring New York and West Coast modern art to the general public. This was the subject of the 2008 documentary The Cool School.

The Ferus Gallery was the first West Coast gallery to show a solo work for Andy Warhol. Five of his Soup Can paintings were sold for $100 a piece. The curator, Irving Blum, thought they should remain a set and purchased them for $1000. One of the prospective buyers that was extremely upset was Dennis Hopper. Today, the Soup Can paintings are worth millions and hang in the MOMA.

Although The Ferus Gallery initially opened across the street (at 736-A North La Cienega Boulevard) in 1957, it remained at this address for the duration of 1958-1966.

Charles and Ray Eames operated out of this renovated garage on 901 Washington Blvd (now known as 901 Abbot Kinney) from 1941 until Ray died in 1988. The office had very few permanent rooms. Walls could be moved to accommodate research or transform the space into a shooting stage.

The artifacts from their office are preserved at the Library of Congress. The building has been remodeled and is currently not open to the public.
