Charles Bukowski Wrote Here

Welcome to 5124 De Longpre Avenue, in East Hollywood. The place is still there (as of this past weekend), but a November 2007 piece from L.A. Weekly suggests it may soon be torn down to make way for condos.

Howard Sounes described the place in his Buk biography:

[Bukowski] and FrancEyE moved into the one-bedroom bungalow, next to the sidewalk. The lounge had an old couch, a rickety coffee table and book shelves constructed from building blocks... The typewriter and typing table his parents had given him were by the window so he could watch people while he wrote.

And it was in that room where Bukowski wrote his first novel, Post Office, in about three weeks.
