I had a girlfriend who lived just a few houses down the street from Buster's. He was a big supporter of our Little League team in the early 1960's and I have wonderful home movies of his participation in our opening day parade down Fallbrook Ave.

[@TheRETRORITA]

Maybe someday you can share !!

[@ukulele_cheri]

Wow, I would love to see those home movies!

[@1minigrem]

So sad, over in the UK we would have slapped a blue plaque on it and it would have remained. Such an icon should have had just one house to be remembered by.

[@mel_bee]

For Buster, that would have to be the "Italian Villa," as it's called. That's the mansion he built for Natalie. It's still there, owned by some billionaire TV producer or somesuch, the last I read of it.

[@ilanarhian]

So many old stars’ homes have been demolished now and replaced with monstrosities. 😞

[@TheRETRORITA]

A travesty

[@HellcatCustoms]

More and more I see today's society so quick to erase the past. It's disheartening and a bit frightening tbh.

[@kirkyorg7654]

yes it is good or bad it is still our history destroying statues of confederate generals will not erase slavery from history and there is that old saying about the past and how we are doomed to repeat it if we forget it

[@cookingwiththekidd2200]

I am sure it is heart breaking Jordan. What a shame that we value “land” more that history. Thanks for telling Buster’s story. Great as always

[@josephdockemeyer6782]

I recently began watching various urban explorers as they explore abandoned homes and mansions in numerous areas. I've seen multi-million dollar mansions - only a few years old - about to he demolished. I saw one in immaculate condition that was due to be razed. It's incomprehensible to me.

[@January.]

*heartbreaking

[@laurastrobel718]

It is a shame😞... Buster was a Hollywood legend. Sounds like he made the best of his life despite obstacles and overcame them and went on to enjoy his retirement. It's a testament to his character how he interacted with folks instead of becoming a bitter recluse... Loved that he gave his walnuts as Christmas gifts, raised chickens and fruit trees.Good to see Jah. Thanks Jordan☺💝🎆🐶

[@Ashley-kd2su]

I agree with you on the history being erased with little or no regard. Its so sad. Im so glad you decided to post this anyway. You dont have to apologize Jordan. Its a great vlog. Enjoy the rest of your Wednesday!

[@shadykatie100]

Buster Keaton was a man before his time! He truly was an amazing man and actor.

[@sarakeith5480]

I love hearing stories about the past! It is sad that Buster Keaton's last home was demolished!! Happy for you and Jah that you have moved and bought a house!! Thanks Jordan!!

[@kirstenskog7809]

Hi Jordan! Thank you for the story of Buster Keaton. It's Okay! You didn't know his house was going to be distroyed. I'm glad we got to see the neighborhood where he lived

[@January.]

*destroyed

[@valeriefelitto6336]

You are at your best when you do these old Hollywood vlogs. Loved this

[@lindachavezw...246]

Very sad that Buster's home is gone. People don't care about the history so many of us love. Thank you for trying to give us this video Jordan. It was very informative. Learned some things about Buster today.

[@howdoyoumakeup73]

Growing up in the SF Valley it’s sad to me what’s happening there. All the beautiful old homes with history being torn down for mini mansions. A lot of the the people living in neighborhoods have no clue to some of the history.

[@genemadsen8141]

Thanks Jordan for telling us about the History of Buster. I wish Los Angeles would wake up and preserve their History. To many Historical Buildings all over our Country have been Torn Down.

[@kellybarless90]

I have to admit I knew nothing of Buster until watching your vlogs . Thank You for not letting us forget the lives and stories of these amazing People!!❤

[@carycary3822]

Well told, Jordan. It is sad about the house’s demolition. Similarly, I was surprised to see changes occurring at Cary Grant’s former Beverly Grove house. Could be more severe than that, though. I hope it, too, hasn’t been demolished.

[@christinemorrisondingman9622]

My mom loved Buster Keaton. I honestly didn’t know that much about him until I watched this vlog. You’re very well versed with all your knowledge of these Hollywood greats. That really sucks about his house. They should leave such places alone and mark them with markers like they do in the UK. Keep up the great work....we all enjoy listening and watching your videos. 🥰

[@karenritter3888]

Heartbreaking the home is gone.Life well lived though.Thanks for the story of a creative man.

[@crush41gb]

I completely understand why you are leaving. So sad the history of the area is well, NOT a priority lol. His best years and happiest times eaten up by the same. Loved hearing his bridge adventures and the stories of his family and friends. :)

[@janahumphries3490]

What a fun story. Makes you sick when they tear down history. Thank you from Alabama 😁

[@TheMocao]

To think Buster Keaton’s house was in my hood and they tore it down 😕 Thanks Jordan for all you do to keep the memories alive

[@felisfigueroa264]

It's sad to see History torn down.The old structure's are so beautiful, built back in the day with compassion. OMG I drive through Downtown L.A and I love looking at the architecture no 2 buildings look the same it's just breath taking how beautiful they are. Now it's only 4 walls put together.I enjoy watching your channel Thank you.

[@markokino3716]

No apologies needed. I'm along for the adventure.

[@Hybridgtr]

Hi Jordan. A short film he made here in Canada is free on KZbin from the official National Film Board of Canada called “The Railrodder” It’s about a man who crosses the entirety of the country on a little rail car. He’s the only one in the movie, there’s no dialogue and it is such a sentimental favourite for many of us Canadians. Used to see it on holidays, spring break etc. You would enjoy it. Filmed in the late 60’s I believe.

[@Hybridgtr]

The Railrodder 1965. A year before he passed away.

[@vayabroder729]

Wow; so sad that historic homes get razed like that.

[@lewisreeves3993]

Jordon you were put on earth to do just what u r doing! Always well told n informative. I think Buster was the best, of all the silent talent of that time! Rest in peace Mr. Keaton!

[@QuinceyG]

Loved Buster K. So sad all the wonderful and historic things they tear down. :( This was such fun vlog

[@ndeep45]

Jordan 🇯🇴 as in all of your vlogs you tell the truth about what is in your vlogs, we could never get upset with you for doing so! You definitely have chosen one of the greatest talents that graced the screen and made us laugh with his dead pan antics. The General was and is to this day a legendary work, his early films show how his skills were above what other actors would or could do. He was one of a kind guy. Also one of my favorites.

[@davidwatts968]

A great shame to have knocked down a house with historical Hollywood interest, particularly from a person who was one of the early pioneers of film. Although this sort of thing happens here in the UK, it is to a lesser degree. We have had many old cinemas demolished over the years, but some have been saved and turned into something else like antique markets etc. I watch your vlogs all the time and it’s interesting to see how areas change over the years, not always for the better. Bygone eras need to be preserved as much as they can be, as buildings and items are all part of our history. Thanks for another interesting video David in the UK

[@madelinechriston8970]

Thank you for keeping the history alive Jordan. None of the "kids" are even sure who Elvis was, as well as all the greats that surely have an influence hidden somewhere In today's society. Whatever goes around, comes around. Kisses for Ja BTW🌻😘🐾🌲🌴🌿🌱🌾

[@jacquestedcooper]

The house might be gone but I still enjoyed your stories about Buster Keaton. Great vlog!

[@dollywilson3395]

Thanks, Jordan. You're always such a great story teller so it didn't matter that the house was gone. You made it feel like we saw it and knew Buster's story anyway. Hope you're having a good time in your new house..I have enjoyed all four of those vlogs...can't wait to see Jah there too!

[@joane5777]

I just saw Buster the other night in an episode of The Twilight Zone~ No mistaking him❣ Thank you for telling some of his story Jordan 🌿

[@dotell8925]

Even though the house was gone, I enjoyed the stories.

[@ramonperez118]

You’re the best. Thanks for all you give and the spirit you do it with.

[@dazzlingchick]

💋Great narration as usual. That’s your gift for sure. All your other vlogs on Buster were so well done too. Thanks again. Continued Blessings and Support. ~Love&Light💖C.

[@robbrocki2724]

Thanks! Really enjoyed the story of Buster.

[@MoviemaniaNick]

Buster was such a legend and it is sad to see and hear what happened to him later in his career.

[@Banditt42]

Love Buster and what he did for the industry. Thanks for a great video.

[@pumpupjam9648]

Pretty soon, if you go back to Hollywood, you will find more historic houses and buildings gone, all in the name of PROGRESS, (more likely GREED). My dad loved Buster, he was one of kind.

[@josephdockemeyer6782]

I'm a sucker for Old Hollywoodland and the amazing homes, fashion, automobiles, etc... Yes. The destruction is heartbreaking.

[@JasonHalversonjaydog]

yeah i've seen that video where he had a house "fall" on him and he went through the window! and back then there was no safety equipment or special effects, it was all real

[@exitscreaming]

Great job of documenting his life and letting people know about him . He really seemed like he was a good guy

[@mm-qm9zh]

Aww, how sad that Mr. Keaton's home was being demolished. Jordan, I really applaud your efforts to bring all this fascinating history to us all. I learned so much from watching this vlog today. It was super interesting, and seeing Jah play in the park was the cherry on top! I thank you for sharing this. You truly have a beautiful spirit! Till next time... : ) Meline

[@jasonmcgovern1364]

Hi Jordan, great seeing the Jahster. They should demolish some of these faceless new build properties that remain empty for years on end and keep the one's of historic interest to be appreciated. Buster Keaton, what a star, what a legend. Great vlog Jordan.

[@roblandis4957]

Always puts a smile watching your vlogs ,informative an entertaining keep up the good work and good luck on the final destination to your new home can't wait for the new chapter .

[@jackiestewart3651]

Thankyou Jordan for such an honest review. Enjoy your vlogs

[@sandeesparkles9682]

I love seeing jah as King of the mountain on top of the ramp at the dog park, he rules that park. Great story on Buster, thanks for the insight I never knew. I am absolutely disgusted how they tear Hollywood history down, some people have no regard for anything except themselves.

[@victoriam6247]

You did a great job with this video, Jordan. As always, you do your research beforehand and offer such wonderful info as you go along. Buster Keaton is my all time favorite, his movies are the best. He was extremely effective in telling a story just by sharing his emotions with his eyes and his facial expressions. Who can possibly do that today? I could tell that something really awful had happened to him in his life because he aged so badly. I wondered what happened. Be blessed and love to Jah!

[@thor8580]

Thanks Jordan and congratulations again on your new home. You certainly deserve it and wish you many more blessings.

[@sharonrubina9015]

Thanks for sharing this video I love all of your videos 👍 have a wonderful day and it's good to see Jah 😎🙂👍

[@raindroph5120]

I looked up his home photos and Buster Keaton had a gorgeous home. Whoever tore it down, made a big mistake. What a shame. I like your videos Jordan.

[@kensheeler7914]

I heard Lucille Ball learned Busters slapstick type comedy

[@alancumming6407]

So sad the house has been demolished. However, alongside your other Vlogs on Buster, you have compiled a lovely tribute to a comic genius that gave so many people so much happiness. Many Thanks Jordan.

[@glessenger]

I lived on the opposite end of the street, I raked up walnut leaves in his front yard, Eleanor let my friend and I play pool in his game room. He came to my door once with a clip board and gave me a job, a show about movie star homes was going to film his house, inside and out. My job was to watch his St Bernard while they filmed. If you ever find that series I would love to see it, I'm in the back ground holding the dog. If you look hard you can see his Emmy on the floor under a parrot cage! Quiet man but was always nice to us kids

[@klausmitmaus4395]

Awesome like always👍🏻😊

[@GrumpyKitten375]

Thanks Jordan! Regardless that the house is being demolished I appreciate you going out and venturing out for us and bringing these wonderful little historical titbits into our homes. As we can’t venture out thanks for venturing out for us.

[@darlenegriffith6186]

Jordan, you need not apologize. I'm with you - it's so sad to see people have a disregard for the history of an area. One would think that the owners of that property would want to live in such an historic home as Buster Keaton's. Obviously not everyone appreciates the history of Old Hollywood.

[@dorothyd.6506]

Thank you Jordan. I really appreciate how you bring your subject matter 'alive ' with your passionate enthusiasm and great research. And I, too, am so sad about the destruction of Hollywood's history. However, I enjoyed your presentation of Buster Keaton's last home today, I feel, just as much as I would if the house had still been there. Why? Because you showed us photos of him at his house along with your wonderful stories of him playing in the yard with children and gathering walnuts from his trees and giving them as gifts to his friends. You gave a beautiful picture of Buster, happy at last in his last home, loving his life and friends and surrounded by those he loved. What a beautiful tribute, Jordan. Thank you for bringing your gift to us and honoring Buster Keaton.

[@theangendeavor9910]

I agree Jordan it is sad that so many historical homes and buildings are being torn down. The owner of the Liberace house you vlogged was from England and even he said in England they preserve historical places unlike here they are not valued. Seattle has gotten that way too. its almost unrecognizable with all the new ugly glass highrises that no on can afford going up.

[@Cardoo46]

I am a big Buster Keaton fan too! I love his movies. It is a shame what Hollywood did/does to people. I also noticed during your travels, LA didn’t seem to preserve their great history like other places do. Its everybody’s history, really. It’s sad because we none of us has it now! I never liked the LA. I had a friend who lived there when I lived in the Bay Area. I felt overwhelmed by the traffic and except for a handful of spots, it was endless strip malls with palm trees and really good weather. I grew up surrounded by history, and I appreciated it!

[@yolandadelazerda207]

Love Love Love it!! Buster was my dad's fav! He saw me watching one of Buster's old silents early one morning when I was young and said "Ahhhh the Great stone face!" Great job on this one Jordan! Love to Jah!! Did ya get a memento from Buster's place?

[@judithmitchell4667]

Hi Jordan! Thank you so much for making this video. If you ever get to Michigan, Buster's vacation home is in Muskegon, Michigan and the last time I was there, had a Buster Keaton history room in the town's museum. I don't know card games but after your video I was wondering if it was bridge that he and Gloria Swanson were playing in that scene from Sunset Boulevard. Do you know? Have a wonderful day, my friend. Blessings - Judith 🎭🎵

[@leeparks15]

My favorite vlogs of yours are of Buster Keaton, thank you, Jordan!

[@richierichardo209]

You did a great job telling a lot of inside info about Buster. I enjoyed it. Thanks

[@ms.sonshine8878]

I took a look online & it was a beautiful home. By some miracle his beautiful home on Pamela is still standing. I guess his last home will be replaced by a stucco monstrosity. I was never a fan of Chaplin but I am a fan of Buster. Buster was an amazing athlete too. He looks like David Bowie at 3:56.

[@lisag18]

I'm sorry it's gone. Thank goodness you vlogged all you have.

[@jeffjohnson4015]

Thank you for taking on the trip to see Buster Keaton's house, it is very sad that they tore it down and did not save any part of it. But we do know that Hollywood does not seem to save any of the wonderful things about what Hollywood was or is. We used to go up to Hollywood but it is not the same anymore. Also we did not have a chance to comment on your house. It is really looking good, so nice you changed some of the colors in your place. You really are considerate it taking care of you little buddy Jah. He is going to love his new place when he finally gets to see it. We just wanted you to know we really think you are doing a great job on your house. We are so happy for you.

[@josephdockemeyer6782]

Thank you for your videos and your positive vibe. Congrats on your recent home purchase! Also, nice to see Sir Jah again.

[@j3c3c4074]

So sad that you made trip to see home and it wasn’t there too bad there wasn’t time to research whether it was still there first

[@Serenadesong]

Google maps is behind by a year or two, they would have shown the house as still being there, so research would not have worked.

[@gillygillyyt55]

Your so informative. He was a genius. Such a pity they brought down his home. Thanks both x

[@estelleacocella9818]

It’s a shame that all the historic buildings and homes are getting torn down. So much history that is lost. Have a wonderful day Jordan. PS loved the recent house vlogs.

[@teresapaskell5459]

Do those other dogs know there is a star in their midst 🐕🥰

[@cmkarma5554]

That’s so sad that the house is gone ! I learn things I didn’t know about him he was great thank you for the infos great video as always !🌹🌷🍁🙂😃

[@MarkWilliams-yk2sk]

Keep up the good work Jordan oh I had a dog that looked exactly like Jah his name was flea and was one of the sweetest dogs ever so every time I see you and jah it reminds me of Flea I miss the little guy

[@stevenblack1903]

I know how you feel. The ink wasn't even dry on Ray Bradbury's death certificate when his house was bought and then demolished. So much history.

[@leenorthcutt8421]

My Number One Favorite, Buster Keaton. The biggest difference in my opinion, between he and Chaplain was Buster's Physicality. He was an athletic Specimen in his younger years and strived for authenticity. I love your Videos Jordan, thank you for always being such a stand up guy!

[@mariaday712]

Sorry the house is gone. This happens so much these days. It's like Corey Harrison said in Pawn Stars. There's going to be no old history left of this town. Hollywood is the same. Only old things that will be left are tourist attractions. Thank you for telling us Buster's history. I hope all goes well with your new house and you and Jah enjoy yourselves. Thanks for showing us you getting your new house up and running. Stay safe, Take care and God bless.

[@jimneedham5031]

I loved this.

[@markdraskovics1962]

HEY, JORDAN Well Thank you for doing this video it brings back alot of childhood memories of me and mom and dad watchimg old films such as buster Keaton, Charlie Chaplin, and silent era stuff like the Keystone Cops Wich One of the director of the films was Mack Sennett.. oK keep the Vidoes coming take care be safe and God bless

[@michaelvincent2495]

I can definitely see Beethoven the dog in Busters dog.. how interesting is that. Family genes 🧬 is strong. You’re the best Jordan! 🥊🥊🥊🇺🇸

[@cookingartguy2170]

What a shame they tore that house down. They do that a lot in LA. I'm sure I've told before that two dear friends of mine who I just spoke to the other day were on Broadway with Buster and they absolutely adored him. They have his signed photo in their house and they always look at it and say " Oh Buster...."

[@stankormy5717]

Buster’s house should of been saved!

[@mlm21]

The owner might have not known it was Buster Keaton's house. If they did, they might have not cared :(

[@contessalouannec8064]

Thank You for sharing Very Interesting. Very sad that they took down his house. We need are history you need to know where we came from in order to know where we are headed. We learn from the past.

[@bernardsherry5642]

Love Jah in the background.. Great Post Jordan ☮️

[@karenkaren3189]

I was born about ten years before he died and was raised in a house about 5 miles away! So sorry that I didn’t grow up in his neighborhood. He was beyond compare. Great filmmaker and wonderful man.

[@karenkaren3189]

The San Fernando Valley was a lovely place to grow up in, btw. Don’t know what it’s like now.

[@BanazirGalpsi1968]

They should put up a large set of photo plaques of the house and buster on the property and require the new residents to upkeep them and keep them accessible

[@zanetaylor5639]

Buster Keaton was one of the funniest actors of all time. It is sad that his house got demolished. I am glad that you have told the story of an American icon because most people today do not know who he was.

[@davidoman]

As always Jordan, You always explore and roll to new locations with great stories and history. I'm a big fan of Buster as well, so sad to see his old home gone. It sucks! I wish you well on your travels beyond L.A. I know I want you to come back and visit again for some more of my Killer BBQ Ribs and some fun with the spirits here. Get in touch, David Oman

[@modellbleu2294]

My family lived just down the street. I was a toddler but my mother used to take my sister and I to his house on Halloween. Vague memories of the man with the funny hat!

[@markmorgan2058]

Buster Keaton, I was a fan of him growing up. 💙 💙 💙 the photo of David Bowie holding Busters memoirs classic pic. Thanks god he found true love with his wife Eleanor which he wrightfully deserved. I would loved to have played a game of Bridge with Busters♠ not alot of people play anymore. So sad they got rid of the house , but through you Jordan the legend live on thankyou. 🐕🐩Jahster is so happy at the park with his friends cute.🐶

[@lynpowell8532]

People don't care about things like old movie stars homes. I love seeing their one time homes and learning about them. Please don't stop doing that

[@SuperEvilC]

Excellent!! Enjoyed hearing about him.

[@TJ-eq6dl]

Not a lot stays the same in life,thank goodness for Love.

[@RobSandage]

That is very sad to hear about how they tear down things to rebuild something new on the same site. If I moved in somewhere and found out that it was owned by a famous actor who I enjoyed their work I would definitely keep it and try to maintain the place. Even put out like a plaque so people like yourself Jordan doing vlogs would know who owned the house and all at one time. Some of the older buildings just have something more to them I hate to say it than the newer buildings that replace it. Enjoy watching your vlogs and hope that you are enjoying your new home.

[@mel_bee]

It makes me so sad that the house on Sylvan is gone. It's where he spent his happiest years, with his beloved Eleanor. But it never got historic preservation status. It was special to Buster's fans, but it was just a normal ranch house that the authorities didn't deem to be worthy of protection. Maybe you can do a vlog on the house at 1043 Victoria Ave. where he lived before this one. The home on Victoria is where he and Eleanor lived with his mother, sister, brother and brother's family. He had bought the house for his family back in the 1920s, and he and Eleanor moved in during World War II. His mother Myra died in 1955. Then, when he got the money from Paramount for The Buster Keaton Story, they sold the Victoria Ave. home (and finally kicked his 50 year old brother out on his own for the first time!). He stayed close to his sister. The Sylvan St. house had two bedrooms. I read that one was for his sister when she visited; she kept her porcelain dolls on the bed. EDIT: Oh wait, you're moving?!! So there's one vlog that won't happen...

[@nicolevarnam2290]

U don't have to b Sorry! It was still an Awesome Vlog💙Thanks and Good Luck with Ur New House🤘It's Beautiful

[@thenewcenturyhomeste]

Same is happening here in Florida. Losing lots of historic buildings/homes to developers. I'm in the process of purchasing an old, historic home myself to restore. Sadly, most of these end up gutted or demolished. I'm also creating a TV show on saving history through architecture.

[@Ehadow91]

I dont understand why people always want to knock down or destroy historical locations. It is so sad that some people dont care about wiping away history. But when you visit other countries they preserve and restore historical sites for future generations to appreciate and cherish. I guess it is all about making money , which is sad..

[@Heather_Lynn]

Another great vlog! Even though the house was no longer there you did an amazing job telling the story of Buster Keaton, and showing pictures of what the house did look like when he lived there. So somehow my Bell accidentally got turned off and your posts were not showing up in my “ favorites” I begin to wonder why I wasn’t seeing posts from you. So I went to your page didn’t realize I was like 10 vlogs behind! I quickly turned the bell back on, to what it was before. Somehow it had accidentally got turned off. I spent this last week catching up on all of your wonderful vlogs. Your new house looks absolutely amazing! You’re doing an incredible job of decorating! I can tell that you’re going to be so happy in your new house!

[@doofdoofparanormal]

Fantastic work on this one, great research as usual. May I add, Jah is looking so handsome, his coat is so shiny, he really looks beautiful in this video, he is cute always, but this video really showed him off today. Thanks Jordan!
