Kurt Cobain Los Angeles Apartment

In 1992, at the height of his Nirvana fame, Kurt Cobain moved to an apartment in Los Angeles' Fairfax district.  Kurt put down his guitar, picked up a paintbrush and contemplated a life without music.  For several months he painted using acrylics and oils, but at times he mixed his own blood, semen, cigarette ash and fecal matter into his art.

Here's a few photo's of Kurt inside the apartment…

After some research and some help from Kurt Cobain fan Keith Kuramoto we have found the building where Kurt and Courtney lived.

448 North Spaulding Avenue
Los Angeles, Ca 90036

Apparently, the Cobains moved out when they came home from a tour to find that the bathtub had a major leak that had flooded most of the apartment.   Coincidently, that same bathroom is where Kurt wrote the song "Heart Shaped Box."

    The top photograph isn't from that apartment. I think that's J J Gonson's apartment, which is somewhere else.

    Would you care to explain how the research done proves that this address is authentic?

      I confirmed the address both in Heavier Than Heaven and the Everett True-penned bio.
