I drove up to the address listed & a lady was out front sweeping..so I asked her & she said this was it.....
4406 Kingswell is where Walt's Uncle Bob lived & where Walt resumed his animation ambitions in Uncle Bob's garage: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NXEv_01B0MI&feature=youtube_gdata_player

I found this online:
“Walt Disney came to Hollywood in July1923, to try and find a job in the movie industry. When he had no luck, he decided to try cartoons again. He was rooming with his uncle, Robert Disney, at 4406 Kingswell Ave. at the time. “From an interview:“ Walt:…When things began to look hopeless, I then got my cartoon thing out again. And I built myself a cartoon stand out of plywood boxes and any lumber I could pick up somewhere…. He [Uncle Robert] let me use his garage“ He did some preliminary work on a reel, probably in the garage, but word came on the purchase of a series of ‘Alice Comedies,’ so the Pantages reel was never finished. Walt moved down the street on October 8, 1923, to 4651 Kingswell, and there in the back of a real estate office set up the first Disney Studio. A contract was signed for the ‘Alice Comedies’ on October 16, 1923, the official date of the beginning of the Disney Studio. Walt only lived with his uncle for a few months.http://www.mouseplanet.com/8366/The_Little_Disney_Garage_Nobody_Wanted

... Walt bought a used camera for $200 and the Disney Brothers Studio was in business. Bringing out young actress Virginia Davis, Walt produced the first installment in the Alice Comedies series and he was on his way to an amazing animated future. By February 1924, just a few short months later, Disney had outgrown the small space and moved into the adjoining store at Disney had outgrown the small space and moved into the adjoining store at 4649 Kingswell that the brothers rented for $35 a month. An homage to that first Disney Brothers Studio exists at Disney
