Where is this? #5

The cultural significance, is it about art (sculpture, paintings, architecture)?

Yes. 9 left.

I’ve edited this a few times, as I researched the place. It has cultural significance, and it includes one, some, or all of the categories of art you mentioned.

To make up for my indecision, here’s a couple more shots of the place, in case they jog somebody’s memory.


Now you keep showing this entrance as if we should recognize it. Is this entrance seen in a movie?

Yes. 8 left.

Hmmm… pizza delivered in this place of learning in a movie?
I got it:

Fast Times At Ridgemont High!!! Spicoli!!! (All this while images of Phoebe Cates coming out of the pool start resurfacing in my head)

Don’t count this as a guess because I know it’s not that because I’ve checked the filming locations.

Could this movie be considered a classic (like Fast Times… is in a way)?

Yes. 7 left.

Not sure the movie connection is what led me to this place, though. Yes nonetheless.

Again, there are numerous movie connections to this place, but it isn’t the movie connection that I was thinking of when I posted it.

So you can’t see the characters and immediately guess it.

I think I got it:

Beverly Hills High School

As you can see from the photos on that site, it doesn’t look like the mystery location. Good guess though, apparently lots of movies were filmed at Beverly Hills High School.

Also, the overhead shot is different: tinyurl.com/7pl3f

Once again, it wasn’t a movie that made me pick this location.

google image has that building under “beverly hills high school” search

And look carefully at the roof of the building on the lower right on the picture at this link:http://www.famouslocations.com/locations/beverlyhillshighschool241morenodrive.php
Compare that with the aerial pic that you posted first.

I think it’s a match. I just don’t know what is the real name of the place.

The answer is still no. It’s not Beverly Hills High School.

Just to be clear, the mystery place is not in Beverly Hills, California.

It is remarkably similar, though.

Here’s the mystery place first, followed by Beverly Hills High School:

(or with Google Earth)

I give up then. The picture on the link is the same building. So the famous location site is wrong.

Edit: No, I’m wrong.

Which is the same building?

I looked on the link you sent, but can’t find the mystery building there. It’s similar, but not the same one.

This is the photo from:

famouslocations.com/location … odrive.php

The mystery building is not in that picture. Where are the steps up from the road? Or the trees on either side? Even the roof is different.

I don’t think the famouslocations.com site is wrong at all. That is Beverly Hills High School, but the mystery location is not Beverly Hills High Schol.

So is the mystery location in the state that has the Terminator as Governor?

Yes. 5 left.

So it’s not a University. Is this a k-12 school?

K-12? no. 4 left.
