William O. Jenkins House is named as a filming location in the Wikipedia articles of 2 productions — in the section each entry below links back to. No Wikidata filming statement points here yet, so this page says plainly which kind of evidence it rests on.
“The exterior scenes of the Desmond house were filmed at a house on Wilshire Boulevard built during the 1920s by the millionaire William O. Jenkins, who with his family had lived in it for only one year before then leaving it abandoned for more than a decade, which earned it the nickname "Phantom House".”
