Walt Disney’s Garage of Dreams

When Walt Disney took up residence in California, he did some of his first animation work in his uncle Robert's ramshackle garage. He soon moved to better quarters, the garage left behind, forgotten. Until, six decades later, Disney executive Art Adler heard on television that the garage—which he knew had once been Walt's—was being auctioned. The Disney Company had no interest in it. Whoever bought the garage would likely demolish it and use the lot for something else. So, Art made it his mission to save Walt's garage.
