Somewhere in St. Joseph, Berrian County, Michigan. Clara Kimball Young was living here at the time of the 1900 census with her parents and grandmother Julia Garrett. This must have been an undeveloped area, as no street numbers are recorded in the census. This is next to Benton Harbor, where she had family.

Unknown address, West Adams Street, Los Angeles. Young and her parents and her Aunt Grace Aylesworth were leasing a home here in May of 1918.

1515 Cerro Gordo, Echo Park, Los Angeles, Clara Kimball Young lived here during the early 1920s. The property originally encompassed eight lots from Cerro Gordo Street to the Curran steps along Valentine Street. In addition to the white wood frame bunglow with a perigola that was the main house, there was a caretaker's house and a small cottage which she used as a study. This property had been sold by the early 1930s.

1742 Wellington Road, Los Angeles. Moving Picture World of October 29, 1921 gives this address for Young in a report about a law suit brought against Young and Garson by David Levy for nonpayment of a promissory note.

On East 15th St., Brooklyn, N.Y. Vitagraph Studios. Young worked at this studio with her husband James Young and her father Edward M. Kimball from at leat 1912 until 1914. 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.; until recently the letters VITAGRAPH were still visible, but they have been painted over. The site is now a girl's school.

Garson Studio, 1845 Allesandro, Edendale, Silver Lake area, Los Angeles. She and Harry Garson operated this studio from 1919 to probably 1923. It was formerly the Selig Studio. The last buildings were torn down in 1939. I think the freeway runs through there now.

United Studios. This was known as the Brunton Studios when Clara Kimball Young used them briefly in 1919 before founding the Garson Studio. Brunton was later called Peralta, then United Studios. The property was purchased in 1925 by Famous Players-Lasky and became the home of Paramount Studios. Young had made her previous film at the Sunset Studio, and before that had used the Lasky Studio, the old Thanhauser Studio in New Rochelle, New Jersey, and the World Pictures studio and the Selznick Studio (formerly Solax) in Fort Lee, New Jersey.
