Cresthill, a four-bedroom house in West Hollywood, was raised by Sammy Shore, his wife Mitzi Shore, and comedy writer Rudy DeLuca in 1972. It was nicknamed a 'frat house' and supported hundreds of careers in the seventies as well as sheltered a generation of funny-men. During its Golden Age, it hosted several parties attended by Hollywood's elite. Nevertheless, one of the house's most unusual features is the trap door, which is reported to have once concealed a mysterious tunnel that leads directly into The Comedy Store.
