These are photographs of the Villa Carlotta in Hollywood on Franklin Ave. The Villa Carlotta apartment building was originally built as the staff quarters for those working at the Chateau Elysée, which is now the Scientology Celebrity Center. The Villa Carlotta is privately owned and has not been renovated. It is a Hollywood historical landmark and is now used for apartment living.
A society that has made "nostalgia" a marketable commodity on the cultural exchange quickly repudiates the suggestion that life in the past was in any important way better than life today.
