"Ivy Hedges" in the township of Ocean, New Jersey - This estate was at one time owned by James B. Regan, owner of the Knickerbocker Hotel in New York, and Alice Joyce's father in law in the 1920s. She was said to be a "frequent visitor" to the estate. It is now a school for autistic children.

17908 Parthenia St. in Northridge, Calif. - A 1951 article in the LA times about a lei sale benefitting the Polio Fund by the Northridge Woman's Club gave this address for her home. She also hosted other events for the club there.

Our Lady of Peace Catholic Church, 15444 Nordhoff St., Sepulveda, Calif. - Her funeral mass was given at this church.

San Fernando Mission Cemetery. Alice Joyce is buried here, along with her mother.

On East 15th St., Brooklyn, N.Y. Vitagraph Studios. Joyce worked at this studio from 1914 to 1921. The studio is just south of Avenue M. in the Midwood section of Brooklyn (formerly the village of Greenfield in Flatbush), bounded north and south by Locust Avenue and Elm Avenue, on the west is East 15th Street. The smokestack can be seen to this day from Locust Ave.; the letters VITAGRAPH are still visible from the area around the bridge, though they are usually blocked by tree leaves. The studio was demolished in 2015 but the smokestack is apparently being preserved. There is a shortvideo tour from 2009 on YouTube, and pictures of the smokestack if you scroll down here
