Brian & Dennis Wilson's first home

This is the first home of Brian and Dennis Wilson of the Beach Boys at 8012 S. Harvard St. in Los Angeles. Their parents, Murry and Audree moved here in late 1941 and they lived here until early 1945 when they moved to the more famous Hawthorne address....where the landmark is.

This footage was shot on Sunday, March 4 by Chuck Kelley, host of a weekly Beach Boys internet radio show on LuxuriaMusic.com.

Stay tuned for more footage!

A question for Mr. Hawthorne: Was the house completely torn down, or was it extensively remodeled? It looks like the builders were trying to save some of the walls.

[MrHawthorne]

They built a second level. The first story skeleton is still pretty much intact.. And the original garage is still there.

Eventually, all those houses got torn down to make way for the Century Freeway. Mike Love's old house at Mount Vernon & Fairway is still there, however.

The Wilson family house in Hawthorne is the one that got torn down for the 105 "Glen Anderson" Freeway. This one was in So. Central L.A.

Don't forget Carl

[MrHawthorne]

The Wilsons lived here before Carl was born. He never lived here.

@IDLERACER  Without Brian Wilson, Mike Love would have been a assistant manager at an In and Out Burger

[coolsweetgroovy]

Wow so cool and nice to finally meet someone from Hawthorne

There was more than one Wilson house.

I think this one is still there and has been almost completely rebuilt.

That is what they were doing when this video was made.

The next house the Wilson family lived in was the one that was torn down because of a freeway.
