Building History
Former silent film actress Elinor Kershaw Ince (1884–1971), wife of the early Hollywood producer and director, Thomas H. Ince (1882-1924), commissioned Los Angeles architect, Arthur E. Harvey to build this hotel and apartment building catering to the local film industry. It later was renovated into a elder-care facility.
The Church of Scientology began to use the Château Élysée in 1969 and purchased the apartment tower four years later. It named it the "Church of Scientology Celebrity Centre International."
