In the LA suburb of Brentwood is Sunset Boulevard. The thoroughfare starts a few blocks from the Los Angeles Criminal Courts Building. Then it heads west for twenty miles to the Pacific Ocean. From downtown, Sunset Boulevard passes through Beverly Hills and then Bel Air. From there, you cross the San Diego Freeway.

The community of Brentwood is along the base of the foothills that lead to the Santa Monica Mountains. The area was laid out in the 1920's. The homes in the area are large but in a stylistic mix. There are Normandy farmhouses, English Tudor, English cottages and Spanish Colonials. It is a conservative area not showy.

In Feb 1977, a prime corner lot was sold. The address was 360 North Rockingham. The home sold for $650,000. The home was 6,000 square feet in timber and stone. It had a pool and a tennis court.

So who bought the home?. It was a professional football player near the end of his career.

His name was OJ Simpson.
