Forgotten REAL Hobbit/Walt Disney Style Houses FOUND in Culver City CA!

[@debbiem6406]

I love that you did this tour! I live just a couple minutes away, and worked at MGM Studios, in the 1950’s through 1960’s, as a child actress. I’ve lived nearby in my 102 year old English cottage-style house for 48 years.

[@Eric-e6w]

That's very cool! Is there any famous actors that you would see in that area during those years? Interesting to know what it was like back then

[@dianetheisen8664]

Cool 😎🆒

[@gailwatson4927]

Thank you Rick. Happy New Years

[@ricknineg]

Happy New Year!

[@chriscoleman6956]

Thanks for the tour of the house I bet it is cool inside.

[@traczebabe]

Never heard of it before. I love it! These are so cool!

[@MsBackstager]

Rick, you're getting to be a Hobbit with me. :) TY for everything and have a happy New Year to you and yours.

[@ricknineg]

That's a good one! 😂

[@danielbowden6330]

Thanks for the field trip, Man, that took 22 years to build. I wonder if that means all three buildings went up at different times over that span?

[@ricknineg]

You're very observant! Probably it was all done in stages considering he probably needed permits and wasn’t a millionaire it was a slow process to get it all done

[@marilyn6979]

Thx Rick...more tours please!

[@tracyroth-myers5574]

That reminds me of the houses I saw when I was in London with thatched roofs

[@williamcohen2447]

Great Vlog never knew

[@ricknineg]

I’m glad you enjoyed it!

[@im_agine852]

Thanks Rick, that was cool. 😊

[@ricknineg]

You're welcome! I'm glad you enjoyed it.

[@nickimontie]

Nice! I want a house like that!

[@ddavenpAZ]

California has oranges? 😲 Who knew? 😉 All kidding aside, that was cool. Definitely a Disney vibe to the exterior! Thank you for all your hard work and dedication to the channel. Take no jive in 25!

[@ricknineg]

Right?! So cool! Happy 2025!

[@johnnystall9683]

Hey man, I am glad you are doing the location videos.

[@gelfyd1]

Happy New Year Rick!😊

[@sallyn2393]

How cool is that?! So interesting and fun. Rick, if you did nothing but field trip videos, I’d be very happy! Your love and knowledge of LA is really inspiring and much appreciated. Happy New Year! 🎉🎉

[@ricknineg]

I’m glad you like them! Thanks for the kind words! Probably will have to go back to the standard format which I really love but sprinkle in more field trips periodically

[@lisafields3403]

That house looks so cool. Love your field trips. Happy New Year 🎉.

[@ricknineg]

Thank you! You too!

[@morganm9040]

Happy New Year to you too!

[@judithmitchell4667]

What a special New Year:s treat! I love these field trips Rick. Happy New Year!🎉 Blessings - Judith 🎭🎤

[@ricknineg]

Happy New Year to you too, Judith!

[@waynesmith3908]

A great home that really belongs somewhere else.

[@midsouthexplorers7702]

I love Culver City. Last year was able to stay at the Culver Hotel. I never knew about this house!

[@ricknineg]

What an experience!

[@waynemartin6065]

A little oasis in the middle of urban LA!

[@SK-qc6fb]

Plus, the '78 Ford Pickup!

[@kimeddy4743]

Love your adventures. Gives me ideas for my channel

[@donnicholas7552]

Cool location! Happy New Year! 🥳🎉

[@ricknineg]

Thanks! You too!

[@wiseguymaybe]

I remember Walt had a room made in Disneyland for him and his family to stay in as well. I forgot what building he was in, some where on Mainstreet in Disneyland. Of course this was before they had built Disneyworld which was still in the planning stage before his death. It's to bad that Bob Iger, the owner of Disney today, is so money hungery and distroying classic Disney.

[@bzydad]

It next to the Fire station just before you enter main street on the left side.

[@RedneckHillbilly-ho9md]

Rick GGGGGGGGG..... lol

[@partyon5374]

How fun!

[@BobSmith-mj7ik]

Love the field trips

[@jons.6216]

That quirky architectural style became pretty popular all over the country. There's a building with that kind of character in the Ingleside neighborhood on Ocean Ave that's now a coffee place called Java on Ocean!

[@BobSmith-mj7ik]

Love those homes

[@atreb56]

Thank you so much. Love the architecture of the hobbit houses. Would have never known of this. Thanks again.💯

[@ricknineg]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@Jared_Wignall]

These field trips are always cool. Happy New Year Rick! Hope everything is well with you, keep up the great work and have a great year!

[@elizabethharrison7306]

Happy New YEAR 2025 🎉

[@SusanDiPaolo-g6s]

Another good one Rick! Thank you.

[@jamescarp]

I like how you can be walking among all these new complexes and then all of a sudden you come across these architectural wonders!! it just amazes me!!

[@ricknineg]

It’s so so cool! That’s why I had to show it to you

[@THOMMGB]

Hi, Thanks for the tour. Many years ago, I used to work at Brotman Medical Center on Delmas Terrace which was two streets over. Going to and from work, I would see the Hobbit house all the time. I still live in the Los Angeles area, but haven't been that way in many years. I'm glad the hobbit house is still there and that it's a protected historical set of buildings. - Thomas

[@rager-69]

Very quirky. It makes me wonder who owns these homes and why. It can't be easy, since they have to keep it a certain way (yu think your HOA or city building inspector is tough to deal with) and hard to sell if and when that time comes.

[@mamas.8259]

Thank you so much. I love it.❤

[@jillmacchitelli6473]

Thanks for sharing this! I never knew these homes existed. Pretty cool. Happy New Year!

[@ahh-2-ahh]

I ❤️ U !!!!!!!

[@dianetheisen8664]

Thank you Rick‼️ I was sooooo hoping someone would come out to talk to you about the houses 🏘️ and give you (us) a tour of the inside‼️

[@TerryComo2010]

Nice change of pace Rick! Maybe do a video of Walt Disney's first house. Happy New Year!

[@Swiftrabbit87]

Bro, love your content. New subscriber here. Love the stooges stuff and just love your love for Los Angeles and history. You should collapse sometime with the GIV.

[@marlenepearson3936]

I did not know those existed 😳 😮 Those are pretty cool 😎 Thanks for another field trip. And welcome to 2025 😮

[@jack2breeze]

On the show California`s Gold they showed an area that had a theme park, no rides, that predated Disneyland. It had a two story witch house and little elf style houses. I don`t know the name of the place but after it closed down the houses were turned into resident living.

[@AE6YT-Glenn]

You need to buy a house and start building your own dream. Happy New Year.

[@PSPguy2]

Just satellite mapped it. It has 4 structures but no backyard. It would be good as a family compound.

[@JamesBrown-i2e]

Happy New Year Rick! Thanks for the tour. I've never seen these houses before. Where these houses used in a movie or television show as background?

[@ricknineg]

Good question! Not that I am aware of. I do know that Nick Nolte, the actor, lived here for a little bit of time

[@JamesBrown-i2e]

@@ricknineg Thanks Rick. These houses would be great for a movie based on Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.

[@AceripXF]

Im sure a lot of ppl record stuff around LA it'd be wierd if they thot recording stuff in LA was wierd

[@silvereagle2061]

I see you enjoy watching yourself now.
