Hope you enjoy the cache and history. Might not want to do this one at night.. It's smaller than a film can.

The Beach Boys Historic Landmark commemorates the site of the childhood home of Brian, Carl, and Dennis Wilson of the Beach Boys. The monument, located at 3701 W. 119th Street, Hawthorne, California, stands on the site of their childhood home, which was demolished in the mid-1980s during construction of the Century Freeway.

Music industry notables such as Dick Clark and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame were among the letter-writers who supported the BBHL's landmark application process. Its status as a California State Historic Landmark was granted by the California State Historic Resources Commission in a unanimous vote on August 6, 2004, in Ontario, California, and the monument was dedicated on May 20, 2005.

The image face of the landmark was inspired by the album cover of Surfer Girl. The current lineup of the Beach Boys at that time was Brian, Carl, and Dennis; their cousin Mike Love; and David Marks. Al Jardine, the group's original guitarist, would later rejoin the band soon before David's departure. Six 45 gold records circle the base of the landmark with the names of the six Beach Boys represented on the monument's image face. The names of donors, Wilson friends and family members, and the Beach Boys Landmark Committee can be found engraved in the monument bricks.
