Exploring the Restored Seeley's Building

Today I was able to explore the restored Seeley's Furniture building at the south end of Glendale.  After being vacant for many years, it's been converted to pleasant creative office spaces that retain much of the building's original character.  You can find more information from the developer.  Local blog The Sights The Sounds has a nice overview of the history and architectural features of the original building.  During the period in which the building was mostly vacant, it was occasionally used for filming, most prominently in the Coen Bros film "The Man Who Wasn't There."  The entire news station set in Anchorman was also built inside the Seeley's building.



Inside one of the three residential lofts.  They all have the same layout.

The three residential live/work spaces are detached from the main building.

Pulp Fiction Fans: "Jack Rabbit Slim's" Exterior Filmed in Glendale

The exterior shot of Pulp Fiction's fictional Jack Rabbit Slim's restaurant was filmed near the Grand Central Air Terminal at Flower and Sonora. We passed right by it on the Glendale History Ride!

Check out all of the info and pictures of Jack Rabbit Slim's at I Am Not A Stalker. The building was part of a 60-lane bowling alley, and is now owned by Disney as part of the Grand Central Creative Complex.

I Am Not A Stalker has tons more info on local filming locations, including Lance's House from Pulp Fiction, which is just across the tracks in Atwater Village.

"Larry Crowne" Filming Locations in Atwater Village

Glendale Blvd in Atwater Village is featured prominently in the trailer for Tom Hanks' Larry Crowne. Hanks wrote, directed, and stars in the film. Several nights were spent filming in front of Tee Gee, but you don't see it in the trailer.
