Watch the 1932 Laurel & Hardy short film, “The Music Box”, and check out the birth of a Silverlake neighborhood landmark. The steep staircase that the comedic duo must use to move a piano does not actually lead to a private residence on 1127 Walnut Avenue. Rather, this public staircase begins between 923-935 Vendome Street and continues upward, connecting pedestrians to Descanso Drive. Take a slight detour just south of Sunset Boulevard and enjoy a piece of entertainment history… and a great workout!
