Joan's Residency
     It has been rumored that unit #1 in this building was rented by Joan Crawford, however, that is not accurate. This apartment was the long-term home and office of Joan's Californian secretary, Betty Barker. Prior to living in this apartment, Barker lived in an apartment located at 4914 E. Fountain Avenue in Los Angeles, California. Unit #1 is 840 square feet, and has two bedrooms and one bath.
     Joan used Betty Barker's address primarily for fan correspondence following Crawford's move to New York in the mid-1950s.
