The Original Playboy Mansion


Flat Sarnoff and I took a stroll in the Gold Coast Area and stopped at a historical landmark @1340 North State Parkway.  This beautiful Mansion is where Playboy’s very own Hugh Hefner’s Playboy Penthouse variety show aired.  Hefner’s first nationally televised series Playboy’s Penthouse was produced at this location in 1959.  The show was a syndicated program released to a network of stations across the country that you had to sign up for.  The show had special guest such as Sammy Davis and Nat King Cole stop by Chicago at this address…..WOW!
