In a white shack behind this residence, Kurt Cobain and Matt Lutkin lived from September 1986 to May 1987.
Nirvana began to take shape here as Cobain, bass player Chris Novoselic and their first drummer, Aaron Burckhard, used this space to practice.

This is where Kurt Cobain went to elementary school. He was a musical child, singing along to The Ramones, The Beatles and Arlo Guthrie.
His parents divorced when he was nine years old, and Kurt's personality changed dramatically- becoming defiant and withdrawn.

On November 18, 1993, Nirvana taped an acoustic performance for the tv series MTV Unplugged at Sony Music Studios in the Hell's Kitchen neighborhood of Manhattan. The session differed from other Unplugged sessions in that there were a number of covers (six total) and the band did not play their hit songs.
Guitarist Pat Smear (The Germs, Foo Fighters) and cellist Lori Goldston had been touring with the band and performed during the session. The Meat Puppets sat in as guests for three of their songs covered by Nirvana.
The taping aired on MTV in December of 1993. Cobain was found dead in April of 1994, and the Unplugged session was released as an album in November of 1994.
The building was sold in November 2007 for $44 million, and it has since been razed and replaced by luxury condos.

George Harrison's family moved to this location in 1950.
While initially a good student, he had an epiphany while riding his bike around. He heard the Elvis tune "Heartbreak Hotel" coming out of a window and was hooked. He directed his energy into music instead of schoolwork after that.
Harrison and McCartney became friends in 1954. After Harrison showed Lennon how he could play the song "Raunchy" in 1958, he became a member of John Lennon's early band, The Quarrymen.
