But before the Methodists put it on the map, the Palisades cycled through a number of different identities, none of which stuck: resort town (done in by the land bust of the 1890s), candidate for the site of L.A.’s new port (lost out to San Pedro) and primary home of Thomas Ince’s movie-making empire (nudged aside by Culver City).

Instead, the lookyloos were drawn by the home’s grisly past.
