| In the films of "My Sister Eileen", the apartment shows signs of paranormal poltergeist activity as soon as they movie in. According to Wiki, the apartment was burgled within the first week of the six months they lived there. It seemed to curse many of its residents. Ruth McKenney aka Sherwood had a very difficult troubled life. Eileen McKenney aka Sherwood died in a car accident in 1940 very young with her husband Nathaniel West. This was merely four days before the Broadway play adaptation of "My Sister Eileen" opened with Shirley Booth and was a hit. McKenney did not attend the opening and never saw the play. The last elderly tenant died in an electrical fire started by faulty wiring on a lamp after being interviewed in a magazine. That fire also probably did structural damage to an already old and probably neglected property. Maybe it is for the best that it is demolished. Marlo Manners (Lady Barrington) |

| I would venture that any building that has been around since 1827 has seen its share of tragedies. Laura in LA |
