Michelangelo Antonioni’s 1970 film “Zabriskie Point” was shot in Southern California and Arizona. Much of the early portions of the film were shot around Los Angeles. The character of Mark, played by Mark Frechette, is seen driving past this building, formerly located in the city of Vernon. The same building appeared in “Carrie” and the 1977 film “Angel City.” It has since been demolished.

LOCATION: 3049 E Vernon Ave, Vernon, CA 90058 (now demolished, formerly near the intersection of Bandini Blvd / S Soto St)

The film famously shot at the actual, titular location in Death Valley, California.  Found near Furnace Creek, the film staged an orgy scene at the site.  The location is also seen on the album cover to U2’s “The Joshua Tree” and philosopher Michel Foucault notably called his 1975 acid trip at Zabriskie Point the greatest experience of his life. The location also appeared in the film “Pharaoh’s Curse.”
