In 1934, Stan and Ruth Laurel moved into a house at 10353 Glenbarr Avenue in Cheviot Hills, California. The house, just a few blocks from the one used in Big Business was his home until he moved to 20213 Strathern Street in Canoga Park in 1938. Dubbed “Fort Laurel”—primarily due to the rather imposing brick wall around the property—this large, storied former home of Stan’s is no longer standing.
