Yet at 1851 North Ivar Avenue, looking out over Franklin Avenue, one of Hollywood's most distinctive residential properties has survived for nearly one hundred years. Chateau Alto Nido with its red tile roof, pale stucco walls, arched openings and wrought iron balconies is a very real physical manifestation of the astonishing transformation of the area during the early days of the talking picture.
