This historic home was originally built in 1926 by Hollywood's founder, Joseph Young, in downtown Hollywood and was then known as the Indiana Apartments. In the late 1920's the Young Company suffered a financial collapse and, in 1933, the receivers had this two-story spacious building sold and transported by flatbed to its current oceanfront location, as the beach was deemed to have tourism value.
The home has a rich history of owners and guests, was used as a private residence by a prominent judge, and, during the 1950's, was the writing residence for many years of the literary legend, James Jones, author of "From Here to Eternity and The Thin Red Line."
