The remodels and updates essentially removed all of the original warmth and 1960’s charm. The elevator story was priceless! Good luck on selling Jerry’s home.
That petrified wood fireplace is so interesting and unique. I love it. Love the bar too. That outside area off the bathroom was probably a sun deck. So much potential for this home but I do feel they should have preserved the original mid century style from the 60s and 70s.
🎭I much prefer the old style 50s 60s houses than the monstrosities they build today... I like that you show the old images of the house along side the new...Fantastic tour tku much. Love lve Jerry Lewis, next to Dean, my favorite guy...🎭
It's a shame how much their renovation has ruined the aesthetics of the house. No respect for the history of the house, no understanding of how to do a proper renovation. Oh how they ruined it 😪
I met Jerry back in the 70s when I was being deployed to Korea. Him and another guy were sitting in the San Francisco Airport bar, and being a fan I introduced myself and stuck out my hand for a shake. He looked at me, and in a nasty tone said " What do you want?"😮 I replied, " Certainly not to shake hands with an arrogant bastard", and walked away. I had heard he was a jackass, and that night in the airport proved it!
I appreciate you and I sincerely thank you for your service to our country. I am glad you came back home to your loved ones. Big hugs to you and yours!
My hubby's Uncle by marriage had a twin sister that lived in Vegas.She knew Jerry and would bump into him at events etc.She avoided him as much as she could at parties too.She said no matter how nice you were to Jerry,he would cut you down as rudely as possible.I wonder where his widow and adopted daughter are living now?
doesnt seem true that bartenders would have to sneak way over to the coat room to get a drink recipe taped to a wall instead of just keeping at the bar ? yeah not buying it
Every time they showed a picture that said, "Back in the day" it looked so much more stylish than the empty cold looking remodel. The kitchen and dining room had a lot more classy, stylish appearance before the remodel than after. They should have kept the house looking as close to original as possible with all the different colors and everything. It was way more stylish and classier looking in the old photos. That is the reason for keeping those old celebrity homes around isn't it? The interiors of celebrity homes should be kept as close to original condition as possible.
@urbanurchin5930 Actually The Rat 🐀 Pack was Started in the Early 50s By Humphrey Bogart and they got the name from Bogart's Wife Lauren Bacall .She said they looked like a Pack of 🐀 Rats in the Morning after a Night on the Town Hungover! 🥴
This guy's got zero imagination. He was at a loss to say the area off of the bathroom was simply a private patio. He couldn't even imagine any seating out there. What a snob. To him, everything was weird. Just stop apologizing for an old home you can't stand, ya jerk.
I remember growing up in Los Angeles in the 1960's all the lava rock and palos verdes stone fireplaces. They were rad then and are still rad now. Those who tear them out don't get that 60's vibe at all!!
I LOVE the fireplace..petrified wood....so very cool. I LOVE the fact that they didn't take all the wonderful history out of the house that practice just RUINS it.
Petrified wood surrounding home chimneys in the 60s was quite common. I grew up in a 60s house my parents purchased. It still had the petrified wood chimney design.
Wow! It was Jerry Lewis home, different time - different styles. My guess would be Jerry designed the home to his liking, not for you or anyone else but for him. He was not looking into the future of 2024! Your negativity and derogatory remarks are not necessary. I hope the home sells to someone that will love it as much as Jerry did.
You would think that the contractor responsible for the remodel, would've noticed the non-functional mirror cabinets. Obviously, it was different when Jerry lived there. Love the red carpet.
No cell phones, but we did have satellite phones. I like the old photos of what it used to look like. Now, it's too cold, and impersonal; like a clinic.
Well Martian and Jerry did make up, after 20 years later, due to Frank getting back together. So I heard he visited Jerry there at his house. I use to work in Vegas doing the shows, in the 70's and 80's. Sammy Davis jr went there all the time, with Frank too after the shows. Jerry was not part of the rat pack, but they came to his house!
If Jerry designed that house he was drunk when he did it. Ye gads all those mirrors! Horrible. I loved him when I was a kid but as an adult I read and heard ( from his sons )he was a nasty man. Can't watch any of his films anymore. The highway probably wasn't there when the house was originally built. I do admire that it has been well kept.
I will put the red carpet back in. I would never change anything, if I bought it back in 2021 . He died in 2017 at his home and was 91. He was living there until his death. I think the family sold it in 2018. Also SanDee Pitnick was his wife too and died in 2017, she lived there too with him.
By all accounts the rat pack did not hang out in that house. Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis weren’t speaking at that time in the 1960’s and they had very little interaction until 1976 when Sinatra did that reunion on the MDA Telethon. Sinatra and Sammy Davis, Jr. really didn’t hang out with Jerry Lewis and I doubt they both went to that house when Sinatra had giant suites at the hotels he was performing in. That house has had several changes over the years, but I will admit it has some unique history to it.
Jerry died in this house from a heart attack. There is no way I would buy this house. Jerry is gonna be living in there forever if you know what I mean.
It's a customized house for Jerry Lewis. None of his beneficiaries want it, so they are selling it. It will take a very special buyer to pop for anything over $1 million for his house. At the current $2.5 million dollar price, it will be on the market for a long time. 🥴😵💫😵💫😵
I grew up in Vegas and back in the day, we’d see Jerry driving his rolls down the freeway and we’d wave from the school bus. He wasn’t that nice in person… as a young adult, I’d see him and he would scowl at people, yell at them and just be rude. But it was still very kool to see him along with the many others in Vegas in the 70/80s..
Several years ago I was picking up a prescription in a grocery store in San Diego. I was not feeling well and was in line. This man came up and got in front of me and interrupted the pharmacist talking to me. He then looked at me and apologized. He was trying to get my attention and at that time I didn’t care who he was. I purchased a few things from the store and got in line to pay for it and he was in front of me still trying to get my attention. After paying for my items it finally dawned on me it was Jerry Lewis.
A lot of the “weird” stuff was my favorite parts! I really liked the old Jerry Lewis till I found out he was not very nice. Still a fan of the Rat Pack though! This house has history.
Nowadays, a yard sale is an estate sale... the local adult school is a university.. The corner Vietnamese manicurist place is a spa... The SUV taxi is a limousine. Any minor news is now Breaking News.
I was and am a huge fan of Jerry's, I'm old enough to have been around during all the periods of his professional life. I remember around the time I graduated high school watching Jerry on late night TV and the subject of conversation was the coming birth of his 6th child With Patti...his first wife. He was wanting a baby girl so bad...he sang a little song called Think Pink.....and encouraged the audience to sing along with him. Alas, he had a another boy. I would live in that house just like it is....with furniture of course. The whole house is a phenomenal conversation piece and I would so enjoy the memories that every corner of each room would evoke. Thanks for such a great video! I really loved it.
@@user-uk7di4oj7f I should have made very clear...that my love and devotion was for the characters he created, not the individual that was Jerry Lewis...particularly as a father and serial philanderer. But growing up, he brought many hours of laughter to my whole family.
His eldest son, Gary, was married to Jinky Suzara from the Philippines. Jerry was hoping that she'd have a baby girl. After she had the baby, she eventually divorced Gary & moved back to the Philippines with the baby. Don't remember if she had a girl or a boy, though. C'est la vie!!
Over years, I learned that Mr. Lewis did not treat other people with respect. In short, it was reported he was nasty, arrogant and a horses' ass. Throughout my life, I learned that the true character of a person can best be found in the manner people treat one another, especially those who lack supposed power, money or influence. As a retired airline captain and VP, I always made a special effort to treat hotel maids, servers, and mechanics with dignity, integrity, appreciation and respect. Like my late grandfather who was a business pioneer in Las Vegas, he used to tell us, Always treat people on the way up with respect, as most likely you will see them again on the way back.
@@debbylou5729 Like the piece said The Rat Pack in Vegas was a big deal. everything famous history was about Jerry with the Rat Pack. The new tiles and faucets were nice but common. Your milage may vary.
So, no comments on envisioning Jerry naked in the sauna and shower, in the room of mirrors? This house is a mess. It doesn’t even have ‘location’ going for it
Sorry...I think the house, old and new, is hideous! No continuity, almost schizophrenic. Just because Jerry Lewis lived there doesn't raise the value for me, and don't buy the Rat Pack story since the time frame doesn't fit.
I love the old photos of how it was when Jerry had it, but it would look way better less cluttered, but that was kind of the style back then. The new look is too sterile, but I'm sure whoever buys it can warm it up with cozy furniture, textures, and homey decor. On the bathroom patio, I would definitely add lots of pots of trees, plants, and vines. A fountain and some outdoor lighting, maybe a Jacuzzi, would really be wonderful!! Too much concrete makes it look like a hospital! Thank you for sharing this treasure, even though Jerry Lewis was a terrible person. He was talented, and the house is awesome! It's actually historical, in my opinion.
Here's a story, Jerry's ex daughter in law Patty is a Brazilian singer, I'm a Las Vegas entertainer, and we wanted to team up and put an act together, let's say like a Sonny & Cher type of act, where we sang but there was also comedy involved. She talked to Jerry about meeting me at this house and possibly have him be our financial backer. We scheduled a day for her, I and Jerry to meet, when the day came she called me that morning to tell me that Jerry died about an hour ago. True story
I lived in Vegas for 23 yrs and used to drive by this housing area all the time. I was also a background actor and did his last 2 telethons with him as part of the crew. He wasn’t very friendly to the regular folks. But the worst is rich little. His office was in the same location as where my daughter used to work for a non profit…he was terrible. Next up Siegfried and Roy’s house….they used to hand out money to the neighbor kids instead of candy. Used to drive by their house all the time and had a. Friend who was their executive assistant before she left them to go into real estate. If. Nothing else vegas is interesting with all the celebrities who live all over….met Andre Agassi when he was getting married to Brooke shields in the elevator of his office on Sahara across from palace station. Won tickets to his live auction and and bought some auction tickets and won a signed/autographed shirt for my son who still plays tennis at 50 and Andre was his favorite player. Like I said lots of interesting people I’ve met and worked with living all those yrs in Vegas.
Nice house, would have liked to have seen more of the original kitchen and baths. Should have kept the paint colors. The 'modernization' is pretty bad. Its a mixture of the past and present and does not fit. That deck with the floating tub was for nude sun tanning. The mirrors in the closest was for getting dressed and being able to look at a 360*
looks like someone with bland mc mansion taste did a partial and marginal remodel. too bad, the original pics showed a high end classic interor with a warm feeling
The house isn't really "weird", it's just very unique, a residence to a unique personality so it's fitting. I'm obsessed with vintage so I'd actually redo the decor. My theme would actually be pink, ultra-feminine OLD-SCHOOL Hollywood glam.
I think the house is neat! I would try to put back some of the things Jerry had done to the home. I'm a huge fan of Jerry's. A very funny man. I always love him and Dean together. Sad when they brought up the team.
The floorplan doesn't make good sense to me. I do like the little bar area and the property the house sits on. That's about it. I could only imagine a Jerry Lewis fan being interested in owning this home.
I love the touch of new modern put into the old 60's type house. It respects the golden days and yet brings us up to date! Loved this video, thank you!
There needs to be a theme in the house, it kind of gave me a headache just too much of weird! This home could be preserved, but it needs a lot of work.
Wow ... a beautiful home. If I could by this home I would return it to it's glory - add lots of colors and big comfy furniture. I would rip out the Kardashian kitchen and add install a kitchen more fitting to this beautiful home. ( The house is traditional, needs a traditional style kitchen with traditional style furniture )
Never Ever Take down an Iconic home like this. WHY WOULD ANYONE TEAR APART HISTORIC PROPERT'S!! THERE IS TO MUCH OTHER NEW PROPERTY TO BUY FOR INVESTMENT'S. PLEASE KEEP ALL ICON HOMES ALIVE
You just kind of glossed over the chandelier, but $200,000 in 1964 is equivalent to $2,029,290 today. So Jerry spent a chunk of change in the day for that lighting fixture. That's more than the house is now selling for at $1,699,999 as a foreclosure.
This guy is so empty headed that he couldn't give us the current value of the gorgeous fixture. So thanks for that. And to him, everything in this 60s home was weird. His vocab matches his intellect, empty.
It had flow , but the renovations ruined how fun this house was . Really disappointed they took out some of the really cool features that made it special .
@@elgato894 Ohh apparently a 54 Year Old Woman can't voice Her opinion but other's can with the EXACT SAME Opinion, I'm voicing my opinion, take a hike buddy.

It’s a shame they went in and remodeled it. Made it just look like any run of the mill house. The character was totally sucked out of it. Gosh… what were they thinking?
I love the swimming pool. My boyfriend, who was a stone mason, built a swimming pool with a stone slide in North Carolina. I would lie and say that it was influenced by Jerry's pool but the internet wasn't that great back then.
My favorite part is the AMAZING petrified wood fireplace. Would love to know where and HOW he got that. The property has no curb appeal in the front and the backyard views are zero. It is probably very noisy with traffic. I wouldn't buy it. I would just KEEP the petrified wood!!
Jerry showed off this house a few years before he died.I think it was the TV show 20/20....I still remember all the red carpet that stood out. The living room area is really nice, I would decorate in mid century modern furniture, get rid of all the mirrors, paint the outside brick, I hate red 🧱 brick. The Casita I would make it a theatre room and keep as an office.
I used to live by Sigfried and Roy's home off Vegas Dr/ Vegas Valley across from the golf course. I would see Sigfried on my walks most days. I know they sold the property across the alley in 2018 or so. My realtor Jillian Batchelor had that listing.
I like the way it looked before the remodel as far as the real wood cabinets and panels. I didn't catch weather the kitchen and adjacent room was already open concept or not before, but I I like it open. If I could afford to buy this home I would make some changes to the upstairs bathrooms and closets. I would turn one of the rooms into theater room with part of it in honor of Jerry and his movies. I would love to furnish each room according to what I want each room to be. ❤ And yes I can't forget the outside, endless possibilities.
The patio off of the master bathroom was a private place to sunbathe without prying telescopes. You need to update your selling skills. This house is a good representation of mid-century modern design. Some of the remodels were poorly done.
I know I Love the upstairs bookcases. I have my own casita as well. Plus you are so right about the yard. I definitely needs some changes to make it more modern
Can actually see this house exactly as it looked in 1958 on a TH-cam channel called “givethechanceakid” …… where Jerry Lewis and his family are interviewed in the home by Ed Morrow.
There is a house in England built about 900 years ago, and you guys this this an 'old home'! This house seems rather cold, more like a public building or lodge. Jerry was world famous so he could have parties to match the house size. Not sure what someone would do with it now. THOUGH, it would make a good Jerry Lewis museum! And I don't think Dean Martin was there much.
Warwick Castle 956 years old. What a beauty that is. This home is nothing, especially with the shiny white and beige nonsense. Just a large home. Blah, a complete nothing.
To start off , I imagine that 2nd floor outside area was for sun bathing . Nude or otherwise . Lastly , HTF were those useless mirrors ok'd ?!? And they should have left it ALL original !!!!
The population was more like 10,000 at the most, and it was just "The Strip," no huge hotels or casinos. All there was in bigger hotels was the Flamingo and Sands. Population now 2 million.

Looks like it has been updated 80%.
I must agree! The old decor was warm and welcoming.

That petrified wood fireplace is so interesting and unique. I love it. Love the bar too. That outside area off the bathroom was probably a sun deck. So much potential for this home but I do feel they should have preserved the original mid century style from the 60s and 70s.
I actually thought it was much prettier before the cold clean remodel.
Agree!
Yes who ever made the changes did not do this house any favors . They made the inside rooms look like an inside office building not a home !!!!

The kitchen and dining room had a lot more classy, stylish appearance before the remodel than after.

Yes, not to mention that they'd get more for the house if they'd left it "Jerry original". Because remodeled, the thing is even more garish.
The horrible remodel ruined the Character of the home. What a shame.
Yes ! ! ! It transformed the historical and culturally significance of the house into a large "Marriot" suite ! ! !

Like my late grandfather who was a business pioneer in Las Vegas, he used to tell us, Always treat people on the way up with respect, as most likely you will see them again on the way back.
Jerry is what makes the house cool not the standard more up to date kitchen.
Jerry was a jerk. But the fireplace is what makes it. ❤
Yes he was. just the celebrity tie in adds to it.@@Heidishereandthere
Wrong
@@debbylou5729 Like the piece said The Rat Pack in Vegas was a big deal. everything famous history was about Jerry with the Rat Pack. The new tiles and faucets were nice but common. Your milage may vary.
@@edgarcia4794 so what…..
Looks like a cheap motel from the front IMHO. No charm.
I had to laugh at myself that I was taking the dis of Jerry’s house personally lol😂
Haha! Me, too!
Obviously, Jerry had the same taste in architecture that he had in comedy.
Yup
It's a shame it was so close to the highway, dang :(
I can imagine the highway noise.
So, no comments on envisioning Jerry naked in the sauna and shower, in the room of mirrors? This house is a mess. It doesn’t even have ‘location’ going for it
Sorry...I think the house, old and new, is hideous! No continuity, almost schizophrenic. Just because Jerry Lewis lived there doesn't raise the value for me, and don't buy the Rat Pack story since the time frame doesn't fit.
I love the old photos of how it was when Jerry had it, but it would look way better less cluttered, but that was kind of the style back then. The new look is too sterile, but I'm sure whoever buys it can warm it up with cozy furniture, textures, and homey decor. On the bathroom patio, I would definitely add lots of pots of trees, plants, and vines. A fountain and some outdoor lighting, maybe a Jacuzzi, would really be wonderful!! Too much concrete makes it look like a hospital! Thank you for sharing this treasure, even though Jerry Lewis was a terrible person. He was talented, and the house is awesome! It's actually historical, in my opinion.
Sure wish you people would break out the thesaurus and quit using "iconic " so much.
Here's a story, Jerry's ex daughter in law Patty is a Brazilian singer, I'm a Las Vegas entertainer, and we wanted to team up and put an act together, let's say like a Sonny & Cher type of act, where we sang but there was also comedy involved. She talked to Jerry about meeting me at this house and possibly have him be our financial backer. We scheduled a day for her, I and Jerry to meet, when the day came she called me that morning to tell me that Jerry died about an hour ago. True story
I lived in Vegas for 23 yrs and used to drive by this housing area all the time. I was also a background actor and did his last 2 telethons with him as part of the crew. He wasn’t very friendly to the regular folks. But the worst is rich little. His office was in the same location as where my daughter used to work for a non profit…he was terrible. Next up Siegfried and Roy’s house….they used to hand out money to the neighbor kids instead of candy. Used to drive by their house all the time and had a. Friend who was their executive assistant before she left them to go into real estate. If. Nothing else vegas is interesting with all the celebrities who live all over….met Andre Agassi when he was getting married to Brooke shields in the elevator of his office on Sahara across from palace station. Won tickets to his live auction and and bought some auction tickets and won a signed/autographed shirt for my son who still plays tennis at 50 and Andre was his favorite player. Like I said lots of interesting people I’ve met and worked with living all those yrs in Vegas.
I really don’t find this weird at all. It’s a time capsule that was semi-ruined. 😢
Is it just me or does the exterior look more like an office building...and so close to the freeway...hmmm... 🙂
It looks like a Holiday Inn from that time ..:`
@@michauxborns For sure...very corporate looking...not a personal residence...
Nice house, would have liked to have seen more of the original kitchen and baths. Should have kept the paint colors. The 'modernization' is pretty bad. Its a mixture of the past and present and does not fit. That deck with the floating tub was for nude sun tanning. The mirrors in the closest was for getting dressed and being able to look at a 360*
looks like someone with bland mc mansion taste did a partial and marginal remodel. too bad, the original pics showed a high end classic interor with a warm feeling
I typically love old homes. Either update or leave it alone. Somebody half azzed it and messed it up. I wouldn't even want that pile of junk.
The house isn't really "weird", it's just very unique, a residence to a unique personality so it's fitting. I'm obsessed with vintage so I'd actually redo the decor. My theme would actually be pink, ultra-feminine OLD-SCHOOL Hollywood glam.
I think the house is neat! I would try to put back some of the things Jerry had done to the home. I'm a huge fan of Jerry's. A very funny man. I always love him and Dean together. Sad when they brought up the team.
$2.5 for that dump! Hell no
The floorplan doesn't make good sense to me. I do like the little bar area and the property the house sits on. That's about it.
I could only imagine a Jerry Lewis fan being interested in owning this home.
No fans anymore.
I love the touch of new modern put into the old 60's type house. It respects the golden days and yet brings us up to date! Loved this video, thank you!
There needs to be a theme in the house, it kind of gave me a headache just too much of weird! This home could be preserved, but it needs a lot of work.
Foster Brooks must've been the architect 🥂
Wow ... a beautiful home. If I could by this home I would return it to it's glory - add lots of colors and big comfy furniture. I would rip out the Kardashian kitchen and add install a kitchen more fitting to this beautiful home. ( The house is traditional, needs a traditional style kitchen with traditional style furniture )
Never Ever Take down an Iconic home like this. WHY WOULD ANYONE TEAR APART HISTORIC PROPERT'S!! THERE IS TO MUCH OTHER NEW PROPERTY TO BUY FOR INVESTMENT'S. PLEASE KEEP ALL ICON HOMES ALIVE
So close to a freeway.
You just kind of glossed over the chandelier, but $200,000 in 1964 is equivalent to $2,029,290 today. So Jerry spent a chunk of change in the day for that lighting fixture. That's more than the house is now selling for at $1,699,999 as a foreclosure.
This guy is so empty headed that he couldn't give us the current value of the gorgeous fixture. So thanks for that.
And to him, everything in this 60s home was weird. His vocab matches his intellect, empty.
Thank you for the tour! Jerry Lewis was an unique man and it’s fun to see his house!
Somebody please send this vid to Don & Mike they would go crazy to see inside Jerry Lewis house
The history of the house is terrific. The flow and liveability is horrible. Sorry.
It had flow , but the renovations ruined how fun this house was . Really disappointed they took out some of the really cool features that made it special .
He wasn't part of The Rat Pack, and was said to be a jerk...
PROVE IT that He was a Jerk, PROVE IT
@@donnadreyer4516his family has said it many times that he was very abusive
@@donnadreyer4516 TALK TO GARY LEWIS, FACT.
@@elgato894 Ohh apparently a 54 Year Old Woman can't voice Her opinion but other's can with the EXACT SAME Opinion, I'm voicing my opinion, take a hike buddy.
@@lisatolliver2866 You and Men LIKE You are the exact reason why I'm Happily Divorced, I'm sick of You Men coming after me for voicing my opinion !! You also take a hike buddy.
It’s a shame they went in and remodeled it. Made it just look like any run of the mill house. The character was totally sucked out of it. Gosh… what were they thinking?
Drinking game. Take a shot every time he says “weird “!
Back in the day, he would practice his comedy routine in front of those mirrors. Plus, mirrors were great for “romper rooms 😉”
I wish I could buy it and give it to his son.
I love the swimming pool. My boyfriend, who was a stone mason, built a swimming pool with a stone slide in North Carolina. I would lie and say that it was influenced by Jerry's pool but the internet wasn't that great back then.
My favorite part is the AMAZING petrified wood fireplace. Would love to know where and HOW he got that. The property has no curb appeal in the front and the backyard views are zero. It is probably very noisy with traffic. I wouldn't buy it. I would just KEEP the petrified wood!!
Disliked Jerry Lewis with a passion and deteste the home....It's hideous.
The house looked much better when Jerry owned it
It’s a tear down.
Jerry showed off this house a few years before he died.I think it was the TV show 20/20....I still remember all the red carpet that stood out. The living room area is really nice, I would decorate in mid century modern furniture, get rid of all the mirrors, paint the outside brick, I hate red 🧱 brick. The Casita I would make it a theatre room and keep as an office.
I used to live by Sigfried and Roy's home off Vegas Dr/ Vegas Valley across from the golf course. I would see Sigfried on my walks most days. I know they sold the property across the alley in 2018 or so. My realtor Jillian Batchelor had that listing.
I like the way it looked before the remodel as far as the real wood cabinets and panels. I didn't catch weather the kitchen and adjacent room was already open concept or not before, but I I like it open. If I could afford to buy this home I would make some changes to the upstairs bathrooms and closets. I would turn one of the rooms into theater room with part of it in honor of Jerry and his movies. I would love to furnish each room according to what I want each room to be. ❤ And yes I can't forget the outside, endless possibilities.
The patio off of the master bathroom was a private place to sunbathe without prying telescopes. You need to update your selling skills. This house is a good representation of mid-century modern design. Some of the remodels were poorly done.
The kitchen is "the nice" area of the house? 🤔 Uhh, no. Its the fireside! 🔥 I would rip out the ugly, stark kitchen.
What can we expect from this guy who calls everything weird and doesn't recognize a patio off the bathroom.
I know I Love the upstairs bookcases. I have my own casita as well. Plus you are so right about the yard. I definitely needs some changes to make it more modern
I would love to see it the way Jerry had it decorated!❤️
Can actually see this house exactly as it looked in 1958 on a TH-cam channel called “givethechanceakid” …… where Jerry Lewis and his family are interviewed in the home by Ed Morrow.
It looks like an Asian developer Reno the house, the house was nicer before the reno now it looks chep 😢😢😢😢😢
The mirror room is a small gym.
There is a house in England built about 900 years ago, and you guys this this an 'old home'! This house seems rather cold, more like a public building or lodge. Jerry was world famous so he could have parties to match the house size. Not sure what someone would do with it now. THOUGH, it would make a good Jerry Lewis museum! And I don't think Dean Martin was there much.
Warwick Castle 956 years old. What a beauty that is. This home is nothing, especially with the shiny white and beige nonsense. Just a large home. Blah, a complete nothing.
To start off , I imagine that 2nd floor outside area was for sun bathing . Nude or otherwise . Lastly , HTF were those useless mirrors ok'd ?!? And they should have left it ALL original !!!!
I loved the walk through of Jerry's home. Thanks for sharing!
played in that house ton of times - mom was one of his personal friends
The fireplace is so 60’s
Personally I like it the way it was
I bet that Highway right next door wasn’t there or that busy in the 60’s.
The population was more like 10,000 at the most, and it was just "The Strip," no huge hotels or casinos. All there was in bigger hotels was the Flamingo and Sands. Population now 2 million.
