The home is located at 15405 Valley Vista Blvd. Photograph caption dated June 17, 1959 reads, "Actor Spencer Carlisle, who recently purchased Liberace's mansion in Sherman Oaks, also found out he inherited the pianist's fans now that tourist season is in full swing. They park around house, waiting to get glimpse of Liberace, who now lives in Palm Springs. Carlisle has taken it upon himself to place these two signs on his front lawn to fend off fans."
