Around November 1970, The Doors recorded their final album with Jim Morrison at “The Doors Workshop,” at 8512 Santa Monica Blvd West Hollywood, CA 90069.

The building that was an antique store served as the bands office, rehearsal space. and studio in late 1960s and early 1970s. Check out this photo of Jim at “The Doors Workshop“.

In fact, the bathroom even served as a vocal booth for Morrison to lay down his vocals on “L.A. Woman”. Since it’s days as “The Doors Workshop” the building has changed ownership quite a few times…

This is what it looked like as the (now closed) Benvenuto Cafe.

This is what it looks like now as a restaurat called Mexico, that has also since closed…

Word is that Robbie Krieger was even in recently to reminisce about the days he spent working there. Here’s some rare photo’s of The Doors inside their workshop…
