Farnsworth: The Original Playboy Mansion

Farnsworth Train Stop 2:


1340 North State Parkway
The 1899 classical mansion was Hefner's swinging home from 1959 to 1974. Before the 1993 condo conversion and preceding dorm use, there were 70 rooms to one owner.  Farnsworth wishes he could afford one of these condo's! If you are an Eddie Murphy fan you might recognize Hefner's home, because in the 1987  movie Beverly Hills Cop II, his character, Detroit police detective Axel Foley, crashes a party at the mansion.
