[2] In 1917 J. J. Haggarty, a large department store-style apparel retailer moved from Broadway to occupy the ground floor.

[3][4][5] The International Savings Building was used for all of the long shots showing Lloyd’s character scaling its exterior.

Medium and close shots were executed using a full-scale replica of two floors of the International Savings Building’s façade, placed on a platform on the rooftop of the L. L. Burns Western Costume Co. building at 908 S. Broadway[6] – making it appear that Lloyd’s character was hanging up to 12 stories over the sidewalk.

(A similar method was used for 1921’s Terror Trail, wherein a building façade was reconstructed over the Hill Street Tunnel to give an illusion of grand height on film – while actually being only a story and a half above a solid surface.

[8] The building was owned by Bank of America until April 2012,[9] when it was purchased by Simpson Housing LLC of Denver, in what was reported as "the second highest price-per-unit sale in Downtown Los Angeles’ history."
